ABSTRACT
In this paper I marshal material from various Wittgenstein texts for the purpose of elucidating a concept of a Creator neither repugnantly rationalistic nor out of harmony with the idea of a judging and redeeming deity. My purpose is less to exposit Wittgenstein’s scattered remarks on these matters than to develop and organize the insights I believe some of them contain. Perhaps even less than elsewhere, Wittgenstein has not in these remarks spared his readers the trouble of thinking for themselves. Whether this reader’s identification and development of Wittgensteinian insights are legitimate and plausible is for others to judge. The following brief outline may be of help.
