This problem, the fact of divine hiddenness, has been a source of existential concern and has sometimes been taken as a rationale for support of atheism or agnosticism. In this new collection of essays, a distinguished group of philosophers of religion explore the question of divine hiddenness in considerable detail. The issue is approached from several perspectives including Jewish, Christian, atheist and agnostic. There is coverage of the historical treatment of divine hiddenness as found in the work of Maimonides, St. John of the Cross, Jonathan Edwards, Kierkegaard, and various Biblical writers. A substantial introduction clarifies the main problems of and leading solutions to divine hiddenness. Primarily directed at philosophers of religion, theologians, and scholars of religious studies, this collection could also serve as a textbook for upper-level courses in philosophy of religion. 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aHidden God 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHidden God. 676 $a212/.6 702 $aHoward-Snyder$b Daniel 702 $aMoser$b Paul K.$f1957- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450516603321 996 $aDivine hiddenness$92477613 997 $aUNINA
