Divine hiddenness and the nature of belief
Religious Studies 43 (2):183-198 (2007)
| Abstract | J.L. Schellenberg presents an argument for atheism from the phenomenon of divine hiddenness. In short, a loving God would give those individuals willing to believe enough evidence to believe, yet there exist persons willing to believe who lack the crucial evidence. In this essay we argue that Schellenberg’s argument does not work. | |||||||||
