Description

"A central thesis of the book is that beliefs about religious matters ought to be held tentatively, with an awareness that the beliefs in question may be wrong. This applies to the beliefs of theists, of atheists, and of members of non-theistic religions alike. McKim shows the validity of this thesis by appealing to the theistic problem of the "hiddenness" of God; that is, the question of why, if God exists, it is not clear to everyone that this is so and why in general the facts about God are not clear to everyone."--Jacket.

First Sentence

It seems, or so I shall argue at any rate, that neither the existence of God nor the nature of God is apparent or obvious.
