Abstract
"For the past two decades the concept of language games, developed by linguistic philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, has been appropriated more and more in theological discussions and proposals, particularly in the areas of hermeneutics and the nature of religious language. Although not in a revolutionary way, George Lindbeck certainly set a trend for the subsequent theological appropriation of Wittgenstein’s philosophy.1 Earlier, Anthony Thiselton helped pave the way for the use of Wittgenstein’s philosophy in hermeneutics. 2 This appropriation centers on the concept of language games, an aspect of Wittgenstein’s later work that captures his developed understanding of the nature and function of human language"
