My book, Rethinking Philosophy of Religion with Wittgenstein, arrived today.
I'm grateful to Bloomsbury for publishing it & to J. Aaron Simmons and Kevin Schilbrack for including it in the Expanding Philosophy of Religion book series.

I just added a new post -- "Some thoughts on philosophy of lived religion" -- to my blog.
These thoughts are based in part on conversations happening with students in my Philosophy of Religion course.
