CCT: Revelation of God

In modern times the Christian faith's claim to possess a unique revelation of
God has faced numerous challenges.

A central issue has been the role of the Bible. While some have continued to
defend the view that the Bible, inspired by God, is God's self-revelation in a
direct way, others, have argued that God's self-revelation is to be found
primarily in divine action or in the person of Jesus Christ, rather than in the
Scriptures as such.

In a fresh approach, Peter Jensen argues that it is better to follow the
biblical categories of the knowledge of God and the gospel than to start from
revelation" as an abstract concept."

First, Jensen focuses on revelation, whether special or general, from the
viewpoint of the knowledge of God through the gospel. Next, he examines the
nature and authority of Scripture and our approach to reading it. Finally, he
turns to the revelatory work of the Holy Spirit through illumination.

The result is a creative and compelling exposition of the evangelical
understanding of revelation for the contemporary scene.
