A number of theologians and philosophers have found theodical value in the theme of divine solidarity with human suffering. To further develop this theme, I examine what it would mean to assert that Christ on the cross participated in a representative sample of human suffering. Particular attention is paid to Christ’s cry of dereliction. I argue that if God through Christ identified with the very worst kinds of human suffering on the cross, then the cry of dereliction should be interpreted as indicating an epistemic break between God and Christ, and not merely an attentional disruption. According to this account, Christ’s death cry expressed his temporary inability to grasp the significance of his passion and death. In this way, Christ on the cross suffered the full effects of divine hiddenness, thus sharing with horror-sufferers the experience of meaning-negating suffering.

上帝隐藏在上帝面前:论神正论、失职和人类苦难

许多神学家和哲学家在神圣与人类苦难的团结这一主题中发现了神学价值。为了进一步发展这个主题,我研究了断言十字架上的基督参与了人类苦难的代表性样本意味着什么。特别注意基督失职的呼喊。我认为,如果上帝通过基督与人类在十字架上遭受的最严重的苦难认同,那么失职的呼声应该被解释为表明上帝与基督之间的认知断裂,而不仅仅是注意力的中断。根据这个记载,基督的死呼声表示他暂时无法理解他的激情和死亡的意义。就这样,十字架上的基督承受了神圣隐藏的全部影响,
