Examining Schellenberg's hiddenness argument

This text examines the so-called hiddenness argument of the Canadian philosopher John L.

Schellenberg. The hiddenness of God is a topic evincing a rich tradition in the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Rather recently, an argument emerged claiming that the hiddenness of God reveals on closer inspection the non-existence of God.

Some say that Schellenberg's hiddenness argument is likely as forceful as the argument from evil rendering theism rather implausible or even false.

In this book, an account of the traditional theistic notion of divine hiddenness is presented, which contrasts sharply from Schellenberg's use of the term.
