In The Mysterious Presence, Frederick Sontag examines the presence of God as a presence never fully known. Sontag's presentation is similar to the observations of the Medieval mystics, who were aware of God's presence, yet never as direct or fully rational, but rather as a known, but never fully solved mystery. This is in contrast with Descartes and the rational tradition, which saw God as an obvious presence to the rational mind.
