This is episode 12 of the Logos Institute Podcast, the official podcast of the Logos Institute for Analytic and Exegetical Theology at the University of St Andrews. In this second installment of a three-part interview, we (Stephanie Nicole Nordby & Jonathan Rutledge) dialogue with Professors Oliver D. Crisp & Michael C. Rea about the problem of divine hiddenness. This includes thinking a bit about the notions of divine transcendence, divine love, and their relationship to scriptures (e.g. Job and Lamentations). Here are a few time-stamps to help you navigate:

0:28 - What is the problem of divine hiddenness (DH)?

2:57 - Does thinking of God as a heavenly parent help?

3:10 - Non-resistant non-belief and contemporary philosophical discussions of DH?

5:38 - What's the relationship between DH and the problem of divine silence?

6:58 - What are some of the standard responses to DH?

9:46 - Professor Rea's preferred solution to DH

13:13 - Is there an aspect of skeptical theism involved in this solution?

15:46 - Scripture in Rea's response: Job and Lamentations depicting a God to contend with
