Abstract
Recent discussion in philosophy of religion has moved on beyond the stage which is reflected in Chapters 2 and 3 of this book. It is accepted that the empiricists have made their point, but it is also accepted that that is not the end of the matter. If theology fails so catastrophically to be empirically grounded factual knowledge, can we be sure that that is what it is trying to be? Can we be sure that it is not succeeding in being something else instead? But then what is it that theology tries to be, and perhaps succeeds in being?
