如果上帝存在，為甚麼祂不顯現自身，向世人宣示自己的存在？
抑或，根本就沒有上帝？
 
這是纏繞宗教信徒千百年的問題，在學界卻鮮有討論。直至1993年，著名無神論宗教哲學家J. L. Schellenberg出版本書，為「上帝隱匿問題」提供了嚴密的論證，轟動國際學界，隨即成為經典。本書博古通今，與之深入互動者古有帕斯卡、巴特勒主教、齊克果等經典大哲，今有Hick、Swinburne、Plantinga等當代基督教哲學名家。雖為無神論之作，本書亦對神人關係作出了深刻透澈的分析。
 
本譯本榮獲英國伯明翰大學宗教哲學中心與美國約翰．鄧普頓基金頒發之「全球宗教哲學翻譯獎助」，期望為華文圈讀者打開當代宗教哲學的大門。
 
 
★專家推薦★
 
憑著前所未見的周密，雪倫堡建立了一個以隱匿問題去反對有神的論證。我認為，在過去十五年來出版的宗教哲學著作之中，這本書是最重要的六、七本之一。
　　——Richard Swinburne，英國牛津大學
 
《神的隱匿與人的理性》論證嚴謹、洞見深刻，令人獲益良多。雪倫堡單槍匹馬，讓上帝隱匿問題成為了當代宗教哲學中的一個重要問題。
　　——Paul Draper，普渡大學
 
 
 The first full-length treatment of its topic, Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason will be of interest to anyone who has sought to reach a conclusion as to God's existence, and especially to theologians and philosophers of religion.
 
 
In this clearly written and tightly argued book, J. L. Schellenberg addresses a fundamental yet neglected religious problem. If there is a God, he asks, why is his existence not more obvious?
 
 
 
Traditionally, theists have claimed that God is hidden in order to account for the fact that the evidence of his existence is as weak as it is. Schellenberg maintains that, given the understanding of God's moral character to which theists are committed, this claim runs into serious difficulty. There are grounds, the author writes, for thinking that the perfectly loving God of theism would not be hidden, that such a God would put the fact of his existence beyond reasonable nonbelief. Since reasonable nonbelief occurs, Schellenberg argues, it follows that there is here an argument of considerable force for atheism.
 
 
 
In developing his claim, Schellenberg carefully examines the relevant views of such theists as Pascal, Butler, Kierkegaard, Hick, and others. He clarifies their suggestions concerning Divine hiddenness and shows how they fall short of providing a rebuttal for the argument he presents. That argument, he concludes, poses a serious challenge to theism, to which contemporary theists must respond.
 
 
Praise:
 
J. L. Schellenberg has developed the argument from hiddenness against the existence of God in a more thorough way than has ever been done before. I consider this book one of the six or seven most important books on the philosophy of religion published in the last fifteen years.
--Richard Swinburne, University of Oxford
 
 
Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason is a carefully argued, deeply insightful, and richly rewarding book. J. L. Schellenberg singlehandedly turned the problem of divine hiddenness into a major issue in contemporary philosophy of religion.
--Paul Draper, Purdue University
