An Evaluation of Skeptical Theism

Abstract [en]

One of the most influential and frequently addressed responses to the evidential argument from Evil and divine hiddenness is advocated by so called skeptical theists, who claim that we are cognitively ill-equipped to know Gods reasons for permitting suffering or for hiding from us. In this article I evaluate Skeptical theism with regard to two common arguments, namely the argument that Skeptical theism entails skepticism concerning our moral decision making and that it entails skepticism concerning most if not all theistic beliefs. It is concluded that Skeptical theism isn’t in any serious trouble with regard to these arguments.
