Description
A unique work of Fundamental Theology, Revelation and the Word of God explores key issues of divine revelation as open questions.
They include: Why is revelation so elusive? Existential and philosophical problems of revelation in the context of apologetics.
The self-revelation of God in mystery. What does it mean to say, as the Bible does, that God ‘speaks’ and ‘acts’?
How does revelation relate to the Bible, history, religious experience and the church?
The relational and personalist dimensions of revelation.
What the biblical Wisdom tradition contributes to our understanding of revelation.
The threefold form of the Word of God: Jesus Christ – the incarnate Word (Logos) and Wisdom (Sophia) of God; the Scriptures that witness to him; and the church’s proclamation (kerygma) in preaching, sacraments and other ways.
The role of hermeneutics, cultural constraints and imagination in the reception of revelation.
Critique (including Feminist Theology) of claimed ‘revelation’.
Is there revelation today? How do developments in doctrine and practice relate to divine revelation?
The liturgy as a vehicle of the Word of God. The Word in pastoral practice. Jesus Christ as the crown and criterion of divine revelation according to the Fourth Gospel.
