| 總結: | This paper criticizes one of the premises of Schellenbergs atheistic argument from divine hiddenness. This premise, which can be considered as the foundation of his proposed argument, is based on a specific interpretation of divine love as eros. In this paper I first categorize several concepts of divine love under two main categories, eros and agape; I then answer some main objections to the ascription of eros to God; and in the last part I show that neither on a reading of divine love as agape nor as eros can Schellenbergs argument be construed as sound. My aim is to show that even if - contra Nygren for example - we accept that divine love can be interpreted as eros, Schellenbergs argument still doesnt work. |
