Sort of. The concept is called progressive revelation. This is why the writers of the OT and the writers of the NT seem to (and, if the concept is correct, they DO) view God from a different vantage point.
Why God choses to do the things he does are often beyond my ability to grasp. Sometimes he tells us in Scripture why He does one thing or another, but that's not always the case. Theodicies are good for apologetics, but they can make for some very sketchy doctrine.
Spin, have you ever heard of a philosophy professor from Notre Dame named Plantinga. He makes my brain hurt, but I figure you might enjoy his writing. He doesn't (at least in what I've read) propose to prove one thing or another. His aim is to "defeat" the "defeaters" of those who attack theism. He's very well respected in the field by those who agree and disagree with him alike.
I think he might by right up your alley.
Here's a site with some links to a few of his papers:

I don't necessarily buy his epistemology, but it's interesting reading none the less.
