  1. 1. The Hiddenness Of God

    A philosophical examination of why a loving, powerful deity might remain elusive, arguing that such hiddenness need not undermine rational faith. It challenges the expectation of overt divine evidence, addresses the puzzle of nonresistant nonbelief, and maintains that knowledge of the divine is often cultivated through communal liturgical practices and transformative participation rather than direct proof or dramatic experiences. The analysis proposes that divine silence can serve relational and moral goods beyond our easy assessment, inviting a stance of trust formed within religious communities.
