Abstract: (383 Views) |
Schellenberg, the main proponent of the proof of Divine Hiddenness, believes that if the God of monotheistic religions really exists and has attributes such as unlimited love and affection towards his servants, he must show much more than the love of a mother to her child and possess it in the first way. Now that he is aware of people's wandering in search of their God and has the ability to remove any obstacles in this regard; regardless of the fact, Divine disappearance has happened many times. As a result, there is basically no such God with such attributes. This article intends to deal with this issue with an analytical-documentary method and based on an epistemological approach, to criticize his inductive reading of the argument from the perspective of religious experience. The findings of the research show that with the investigation done on different types of religious experiences, some types of religious experiences definitely have epistemological value. Especially the cases which are from the tradition of present knowledge and establish direct knowledge about God.
Keywords: God's Existence, Divine Hiddenness, Schellenberg, Inductive Reading, Religious Experience.
