The hiddenness argument is a new argument for atheism that has come to prominence in philosophy over the past two decades."--Back cover.Summary: The hiddenness argument is an argument for atheism that has come to prominence in philosophy over the past two decades. This book offers an accessible, short, and vigorous statement of the argument by its creator.
