Taking into consideration analytical, continental, historical, post-modern and contemporary thinkers, this book provides a defence of a realist construal of religious discourse. It argues that anti-realism tends towards absolutism and hubris. It also provides a perspective on approaches influenced by Wittgenstein, Kant, and apophatic theology.
