In this article, a novel Wittgensteinian approach to philosophy of religion is presented which uses autobiographical exposition as a way of clarifying religious concepts. After analyzing what Wittgenstein is trying to accomplish in his philosophical approach, Wittgenstein’s type of grammatical inquiry into concept formation is applied to religion in this very straightforward manner. How a child learns to use religious concepts and how people check whether the child is using these concepts correctly, reminds us of the actual role these concepts play in our discourses. In the third and fourth sections, the Wittgensteinian investigation of concept formation into religion conducted in this article is used to establish that the two common criticisms, namely that a Wittgensteinian approach fails to acknowledge that for believers God is real and that religious conflicts exist, are misplaced. It is shown that a Wittgensteinian approach in philosophy of religion merits renewed attention.

在本文中，提出了一种新颖的维特根斯坦宗教哲学方法，该方法使用自传式阐述作为澄清宗教概念的一种方式。在分析了维特根斯坦试图在他的哲学方法中实现的目标之后，维特根斯坦对概念形成的语法探究以这种非常直接的方式应用于宗教。孩子如何学习使用宗教概念，人们如何检查孩子是否正确使用这些概念，提醒我们这些概念在我们的话语中所扮演的实际角色。在第三和第四节中，本文使用维特根斯坦对宗教概念形成的调查来确定两种常见的批评，也就是说，维特根斯坦的方法没有承认对于信徒来说上帝是真实的，并且存在宗教冲突是错误的。结果表明，维特根斯坦的宗教哲学方法值得重新关注。
