| Summary: | Given recent discussions of personal privacy, or more particularly, its invasion via the internet, it is not surprising to find the issue of personal privacy emerging regarding God’s relation to our private lives. Two different and opposing views of this God-person relation have surfaced in the literature: (A) ‘God and Privacy’ by Falls-Corbitt and Michael McLain, and (B) ‘Privacy and Control’ by Scott Davison. I discuss key elements in both sides of this debate. Even though I will register my sympathy with both sides, I claim that both fail to grasp what I call the existential depth of the God-person relationship. |
