This book 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 Schellenbergs
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 Schellenbergs use of the
term. Moreover, a well-needed detailed exposition of the premises
of the hiddenness argument is offered, thereby preparing the ground
for an even more in-depth future hiddenness debate. Furthermore, a
reply to the argument is given which challenges the truth of one
specific subpremise, according to which belief that God exists is
necessary in order to personally relate to God. Even though a
plausible case is made that the hiddenness argument is unsound, it
is beyond dispute that the argument deserves more serious
reflection by theists and atheists alike.
