Many Wittgenstinian philosophers are accused by philosophers of distorting core religious beliefs. Here, criticisms by philosophers in the Thomist and Reformed traditions alert us to the dangers of uncritical acceptance of dominant philosophical traditions, and to the need to do justice to the conceptual uniqueness of the reality of God.
Philosophy of Religion is marked by controversy over which philosophical accounts do justice to core religious beliefs. Many Wittgenstinian philosophers are accused by analytic philosophers of religion of distorting these beliefs. In Whose God? Which Tradition?, the accusers stand accused of the same by leading philosophers in the Thomist and Reformed traditions. Their criticisms alert us to the dangers of uncritical acceptance of dominant philosophical traditions, and to the need to do justice to the conceptual uniqueness of the reality of God. The dissenting voices breathe new life into the central issues concerning the nature of belief in God.

D.Z. Phillips was formerly Danforth Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Claremont Graduate University, USA., and Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Wales Swansea, UK.
