總結:Next to the problem of evil, the problem of divine hiddenness is the most prominent single argument for atheism in the current literature. Most advocates of the problem target what can be termed ‘generic theism', theism abstracted from any particular religious tradition.

I argue here that Christian soteriology provides a good reason why God might refrain from making His existence rationally indubitable to all.
