The Philosophy of Religious Language Résumé

The Philosophy of Religious Language: Sign, Symbol and Story Dan Stiver (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)

This text provides a lively introduction to the developments in philosophy of language in this century, and to the way these have impinged upon religious language. Included is the relevance of analytical philosophy of language, but the text also covers important historical debates about religious language that have had increasing impact upon biblical studies and theology.

The Philosophy of Religious Language Avis

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. Brian Davies, Anglican Theological Review
