5. AO2 Issues
A, B and C  The solutions presented by religious philosophers for the inherent problems of using religious language.  The exclusive context of religious belief for an understanding of religious language.  The persuasiveness of arguments asserting either the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of religious language.  How far Logical Positivism should be accepted as providing a valid criterion for meaning in the use of language.  To what extent do the challenges to Logical Positivism provide convincing arguments to non- religious believers.  Whether non-cognitive interpretations are valid responses to the challenges to the meaning of religious language
