Abstract

In 1993, for the first time, JOHN L. SCHELLENBERG, the contemporaryphilosopher of religion, proposed the “HIDDENNESS ARGUMENT’’. According to this argument, as God doesn’t provide for many people sufficient evidence for His existence, He is hidden. In other words, that many people inculpably fail to find sufficient evidence for the existence of God constitutes evidence for atheism. Schellenberg argues that since a loving God would not withhold the benefits of belief, the lack of evidence for God’s existence is incompatible with divine love. This paper argues that his defense of two controversial premises of his argument is unsuccessful: one is that God’s love is incompatible with His allowing some to remain in doubt about His existence, and the other is: the nonbelief of some agnostics is inculpable. Theistic Religions have plausible reasons, which Schellenberg has not succeeded in refuting, for thinking that every nonbelief is culpable.
