Abstract

This book offers a theological, and more specifically ecclesiological, response to the philosophical problem of divine hiddenness. It engages with philosopher J.L. Schellenberg's argument on hiddenness and sets out a theologically rich and fresh response, drawing on the ecclesiological thought of Gregory of Nyssa. With careful attention to Gregory's work, the book shows how certain ecclesiological problems and themes are critical to the hiddenness argument. It looks to the gathered church (the church as the body of Christ) and the scattered church (the church as the image of God) for relevance to the hiddenness problem. The volume will be of interest to scholars of theology and philosophy, particularly analytic theologians and philosophers of religion.

Abstract

In this groundbreaking work to identify and address God's absence in three key rape narratives in the Hebrew Bible, Leah Rediger Schulte finds a pattern that indicates a larger community crisis. With a careful look at Genesis 34, Judges 19, and 2 Samuel 13, this study outlines God's absence, a foreign presence, and a persistent problem that is resolved incorrectly to highlight consequences of the Israelites breaking their covenant with God. Using methodologies from literary criticism and gender studies and situating rape in its historical context, this volume makes distinctions between modern constructs of rape and biblical rape. Commentaries and studies on rape in the Bible often read a modern understanding of the victim and rapist back into the biblical text, missing how it would have been understood in ancient Israel. These biblical rape scenes are intimately connected to and assist in telling the story of Israel's history as a people and their covenantal relationship with their deity.

Abstract

"In the biblical canon, two books lack any explicit reference to the name of God: Song of Songs and Esther. What is the nature of God as revealed in texts that don't use his name? Exploring the often overlooked theological connections between these two Old Testament books, Chloe T. Sun takes on the challenges of God's absence and explores how we think of God when he is perceived to be silent"--

Abstract

Die Kehrseite der Offenbarung Gottes ist seine Verborgenheit. In der vorliegenden Studie wird das Thema nicht als Frage nach der Existenz Gottes oder der Theodizee, sondern als Frage der Glaubensgewissheit behandelt.Systematisch-theologiegeschichtliche Modelluntersuchungen bilden, nach einem Rekurs auf das Motiv der Verborgenheit Gottes und seiner Bedeutung in der biblischen Tradition, den Hauptteil des Buches. Sie führen zu drei Thesen: 1. Gottes Verborgenheit ist ein notwendiges, jedoch zu überwindendes Korrelat seines Offenbarseins. 2. Die Dialektik von Verborgen- und Offenbarsein findet sich im Selbstverhältnis Gottes und des Menschen sowie in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander. 3. Gott und Mensch sind zur Überwindung ihrer je eigenen Verborgenheit aufeinander angewiesen. Diese Transformation von der Verborgenheit zum Offenbarsein kann auch als Selbstverwirklichung aufgefasst werden.Abschließend werden die gewonnenen Einsichten auf ihre Anschlussfähigkeit zur philosophischen Anthropologie hin untersucht. Sodann wird der Gottesdienst als prominenter und exemplarischer Ort einer solchen Transformation vom Verborgen- zum Offenbarsein in den Blick genommen und in einer agendarischen Gestalt auf seine diesbezügliche Leistungsfähigkeit hin überprüft.
