This book provides a comprehensive and deeply theological exploration of the philosophical issue of divine hiddenness. It delves into the argument presented by philosopher J.L. Schellenberg and offers a robust and innovative response, drawing upon the rich theological insights of Gregory of Nyssa. Through a meticulous examination of Gregory's writings, the book demonstrates how certain ecclesiological concerns and themes are essential to understanding the hiddenness argument. It seeks relevance from both the gathered church, representing the body of Christ, and the scattered church, representing the image of God, in addressing this philosophical dilemma. This volume is of immense interest to scholars engaged in theology and philosophy, particularly those specializing in analytic theology and the philosophy of religion.
