Seeing the Face of Christ: An Ecclesiological Solution to the Problem of Divine Hiddenness

The problem of the hiddenness of God has at least two kinds: an experiential and an intellectual problem.

總結:The problem of the hiddenness of God has at least two kinds: an experiential and an intellectual problem. Despite differences, a solution to either would require some account of how God is personally known. Yet for the Christian tradition, God is known in the man Jesus Christ.

With special attention to the ecclesiology of Gregory of Nyssa, I offer an account of knowing Christ in the church. I then explore this as a response to the problems of divine hiddenness, and anticipate a considerable objection to my response.
