metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Skeptical theologians widely discuss J. L. Schellenberg’s approach in which he
  demonstrates how epistemic skepticism of skeptical theology leads to Divine hiddenness. Although this experience is obviously close to that of godforsakeness (a
  strictly religious experience), nevertheless the experience of Divine hiddenness can
  lead to the denial of the theistic component of skeptic theism, and, accordingly, to
  the destruction of theism (Schellenberg himself adopts an atheistic position). In
  our article, we examine the causes of atheistic tendencies within skeptic theism and
  offer a proposal to preserve the theistic core of skeptic theism. We use the analysis
  of theodicy of the Book of Job (the concept of O. M. Nogovitsyn is the basis for the
  interpretation of the book) to indicate the possible cause of this atheistic tendency.
  A way to overcome the internal conflict of skeptic theism lies not in denying the
  agnostic component of the experience of the hidden God, but in maintaining the
  distinction between the name of God and God himself. The name of God reveals
  a particular truth about God, but it is essential to understand that God is different
  from his name. God appears to Job and presents himself as an absolute precedence,
  or a total other — different in relation to his own names.
