This paper continues the discussion in recent Anglo-American epistemology of religion concerning "truth" in religion and the relevance of argument or philosophical proof. The author proposes an analysis of religious belief that takes into account both the practice of believers and the understanding of religious truth frequently given by them. Such an analysis provides a description of the character of religious truth, holds that the meaning and truth of religious beliefs are not determined purely within religious practices or discourses, and offers an explanation as to why it is generally difficult to reach agreement about the truth of specific religious beliefs.
