Clack provides a much-needed primer in Wittgenstein's thought as it relates to religious belief. This text provides a guide to the essentials of Wittgenstein's philosophy and particularly his philosophy of religion. Students are introduced to the early and later work, and the different accounts of language and meaning they offer. The book provides an overview of Wittgenstein's writing on religion, a guide round the maze of his thinking on the subject and an assessment of his influence in contemporary debates. At a time when there continues to be enormous interest in all aspects of Wittgenstein's philosophy, and when his name is frequently cited in connection with radical developments in theology, this book comes as a timely analysis of the religious thinking of one of the twentieth century's most important and enigmatic intellectual figures.
