Abstract
J.H. le Roux had a passion for philosophy. His writings contain recourse to the history of philosophy in a way that bespeaks a deep underlying interest in the subject. This much is relatively well-known. This contribution, by contrast, aims at reconstructing something hitherto mostly covert: Le Roux�s philosophy of religion. Of interest is what his writings presuppose about the nature of religion, religious language, the nature of God, the existence of God, religious epistemology, the relation between religion and morality and the problem of religious pluralism.

Summary
J.H. le Roux is one of few Old-Testament scholars with an intense interest in philosophy. Le Roux’s particular approach to religious ideas is rather unique in the sense that it overflows the categories of stereotypical Continental thought on religion – he never blindly followed any single thinker all the way.
