J. L. Schellenberg

Schellenberg in 2017

John L. Schellenberg (born 1959) is a Canadian philosopher who is best known for his work in philosophy of religion. He has earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy from the University of Oxford, and is Professor of Philosophy at Mount Saint Vincent University and adjunct professor in the Faculty of Graduate Studies at Dalhousie University, both in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1]

Schellenberg's early development of an argument from divine hiddenness for atheism has been influential.[2] In a subsequent series of books he has formulated a hypothetical form of religious belief which he has called "skeptical religion", which he regards as being compatible with atheism.[3] In 2013, the Cambridge University Press journal Religious Studies published a special issue devoted to critical discussion of Schellenberg's philosophy of religion.[4]
