Divine Hiddenness: New Essays Book

Divine Hiddenness may sound like a clumsy philosopher's way of talking, but it is at the heart of much thought. Whether in a university, a church, a bar, or in solitude, nearly everyone has at some time asked: Why does God hide from us? If God exists, why is He not manifest and obvious? Editors Daniel Howard-Snyder and Paul K. Moser have assembled many of the leading voices in the philosophy of religion to offer their views on the subject. There are both philosophers and theologians, skeptics and believers. The result is a scholarly, if occasionally academic, treatment of a thorny problem that has afflicted thinkers for thousands of years. The book ranges from analytic philosophy to theology to some interesting historical treatments of St. John of the Cross, Jonathan Edwards, and Kierkegaard. The volume contains 11 essays, including works by Nicholas Wolterstorff, Peter van Inwagen, and William J. Wainwright. Moser has also compiled an excellent bibliography on the subject, which is especially useful for students of philosophy. --Eric de Place Read More
