| Zusammenfassung: | In an important discussion of the problem of hiddenness, Michael Rea briefly presents and defends an argument from divine hiddenness which he thinks encapsulates the problem of divine hiddenness, and then develops a detailed and nuanced response to this argument. Importantly, Rea claims that his response does not depend on the commonly held theistic view that God allows hiddenness to secure human goods. In this paper I offer a detailed criticism of Reas account of what justifies God in allowing divine hiddenness, arguing that Reas response to the argument from divine hiddenness is unsuccessful. |
