Hiddenness and Transcendence

Following on from Chapter 3, which described a continuum on which characterizations of divine transcendence generally fall, this chapter makes a case for avoiding both poles, thus locating the correct understanding of transcendence somewhere in between. Rather than advocating for a specific analysis of transcendence, however, the chapter aims to identify several consequences of a theologically adequate understanding of divine transcendence, followed by an explanation of how these consequences undercut the argument from divine hiddenness against the existence of God.
