- Abstract
- J. L. Schellenberg’s hiddenness argument maintains that the God of theism is a perfectly loving person-like God. That God can be understood by extrapolating human attributes. If people fail to believe in God through no fault of their own, then God must provide evidence in the form of belief to anyone open to believing. Schellenberg assumes that belief in God is involuntary. I examine Schellenberg’s claims from the perspective of Kalām theology (Islamic Rational Theology). I argue that the God of theism is dissimilar to creation and must be understood using reason and revelation. I also argue that belief in God’s existence is not involuntary but based on knowledge.
