The End of Divine Hiddenness? (Part 7 of the Divine Hiddenness Series)
This is a response to a recent video by Christopher Cloos at @ChristianPhilosophyAcademy.
• Response to Schieber: 2 Objections to...
In his video, Cloos presents an objection to Schellenberg's divine hiddenness argument from a recent essay by Daniel Howard-Snyder which argues that, possibly, God may hide from people to attain a 'better start' to a relationship with them even while being perfectly loving.
I first trace the dialectic between Daniel Howard-Snyder and J.L. Schellenberg before examining Howard-Snyder's most recent attempt to undermine Schellenberg's argument. I conclude that Howard-Snyder's most recent reply fails to undermine Schellenberg's argument.
