Summary

In this article we want to focus on the parts of the problems of the hiddenness of God and attempt to show how to use the approach of game theory in attempting to solve this problem. We also intend to show how the game theory approach may be useful and bring new quality to modern biblical hermeneutics.

Key words: Biblical Hermeneutics, Hiddenness of God, Game Theory, John Schellenberg, Steven Brams.
