In Defense from the Incarnation Argument: Reply to Stanisław Ruczaj

Abstract

The paper is a response to the polemic of Stanisław Ruczaj with the argument from the Incarnation, which was presented in the book Ukrytość i Wcielenie. Teistyczna odpowiedź na argument Johna L. Schellenberga za nieistnieniem Boga [Hiddenness and the Incarnation: A Theistic Response to John L. Schellenberg’s Argument for Divine Nonexistence]. Ruczaj accuses the so-called incarnational defense that it does not consider the possibility that God is both incarnate and not hidden. In my response, I am focusing on the reasons why I believe it is possible that the option described by Ruczaj is excluded for God. In my opinion, there are reasons to think that it is (a) logically contradictory, (b) inconsistent with God’s perfect moral character, (c) it would not result in the elimination of nonresistant nonbelief in the Incarnation.

Keywords:
