The commonly held view that Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion
is fideistic loses plausibility when contrasted with recent
scholarship on Wittgenstein's corpus and biography. This book
reevaluates the place of Wittgenstein in the philosophy of religion
and charts a path forward for the subfield by advancing three
themes.

Traditional theistic proofs are often understood as evidence
intended to compel belief in a divinity. John Clayton explores the
surprisingly varied applications of such proofs in the work of
philosophers and theologians from several periods and traditions,
thinkers as varied as Ramanuja, al-Ghazali, Anselm, and Jefferson.
He shows how the gradual disembedding of theistic proofs from their
diverse and local religious contexts is concurrent with the
development of natural theologies and atheism as social and
intellectual options in early modern Europe and America. Clayton
offers a fresh reading of the early modern history of philosophy
and theology, arguing that awareness of such history, and the local
uses of theistic argument, offer important ways of managing
religious and cultural difference in the public sphere. He argues
for the importance of historically grounded philosophy of religion
to the field of religious studies and public debate on religious
pluralism and cultural diversity.
