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

Schellenberg (philosophy, Mount Saint Vincent U.) here concludes the examination of religion and rationality he began with Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion and developed in The Wisdom to Doubt.

J. L. Schellenberg articulates and defends a simple but revolutionary idea: we are still at a very early stage in the possible history of intelligent life on our planet, and should frame our religious

The Wisdom to Doubt is a major contribution to the contemporary literature on the epistemology of religious belief. Continuing the inquiry begun in his previous book, Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Re

The Will to Imagine completes J. L. Schellenberg's trilogy in the philosophy of religion, following his acclaimed Prolegomena to a Philosophy of Religion and The Wisdom to Doubt. This book marks a str

This Element traces the effects of science's rise on the cultural status of monotheism. Starting in the past, it shows how monotheism contributed to science's rise, and how, returning the favour, science provided aid and support, until fairly recently, for the continuing success of monotheism in the west. Turning to the present, the Element explores reasons for supposing that explanatorily, and even on an existential level, science is taking over monotheism's traditional roles in western culture. These reasons are found to be less powerful than is commonly supposed, though the existential challenge can be made effective when framed in an unusual and indirect manner. Finally, the Element considers how the relationship between science's high standing and the status of monotheism might appear in the future. Could something like monotheism rise again, and might science help it do so? The Element concludes that an affirmative answer is possible.

In many places and times, and for many people, God's existence has been rather less than a clear fact. According to the hiddenness argument, this is actually a reason to suppose that it is not a fact

A species as limited and immature as humans has no reasonable choice but to withhold judgment about the existence of an ultimate salvic reality, argues Schellenberg (philosophy, Mount Saint Vincent U.

In this provocative work, J. L. Schellenberg addresses those who, influenced by science, take a negative view of religion, thinking of it as outmoded if not decadent. He promotes the view that transcendently oriented religion is developmentally immature, showing the consilience of scientific thinking about deep time with his view. From this unique perspective, he responds to a number of influential cultural factors commonly thought to spell ill for religion, showing the changes - changes favorable to religion - that are now called for in how we understand them and their proper impact. Finally, he provides a defense for a new and attractive religious humanism that benefits from, rather than being hindered by, religious immaturity. In Schellenberg's view, religion can and should become a human project as monumental as science.
