Media Reviews
This is an excellent critical survey of the modern philosophy of language in general, and of religious language in particular, deftly set against the background of its traditional forerunners. It is readable, colourful, and richly informative, without being simplistic or sweeping in its descriptions and judgements. Steven Kings, Reviews in Religion and Theology Dan Stiver offers, for tose coming to these topics for the first time , a useful map to an academic (sub)discipline called philosophy of religious language.
