“Skeptical Theism” is a philosophy-of-religion category focused on the view that humans are not well positioned to judge whether an all-good, all-powerful God would have reasons for permitting the evils and sufferings we observe. Books in this genre develop, defend, and critique this stance as a response to the evidential problem of evil, emphasizing epistemic humility about God’s purposes and the limits of human cognition. Typical themes include “no-see-um” inferences and inscrutable evils, the scope of reasonable skepticism, the relation to divine hiddenness, implications for moral reasoning and providence, and debates over whether skeptical theism avoids or invites broader skepticism. The category includes analytic monographs, essays, and exchanges that map the arguments’ strengths, costs, and practical implications for theistic belief.
