Revelation in a Pluralistic World

Autor Louis Roy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 sep 2022
Since the Enlightenment, the churches have progressively suffered a severe loss of status because of their belief that revelation is realized only in Christianity. The suggestion that Christian revelation might be truer than other so-called revelations seems to be preposterous. This book argues that this insistence has often remained unnuanced and simplistic, with the consequence that not only unbelievers as well as believers of other religions, but even numerous Christians no longer agree with the primacy of a truth revealed in Jesus Christ. The book addresses the difficulties affecting the interpretation of belief, given modernity's concerns. The volume sets out a provisional synthesis on revelation and it makes available much expository and historical information. It correlates distinctions between pair members such as the natural and the supernatural, conceptualism and intellectualism, heart and reason, subjectivity and objectivity, limited perspective and universal viewpoint, permanence of doctrine and historicity, Christian and non-Christian claims regarding truth, revelation and divine speech, moderate and radical pluralism, Jesus absolutized and Jesus relativized. The thrust of the argument is towards an appropriation of what is best in ancient, medieval, and modern traditions on revelation. This book delineates, in an original way, a position on revelation that is at once traditional and relevant for today. It accepts many values brought to the fore by modernity and draws from exegetes, historians, philosophers, and theologians. Its inspiration comes principally from the Bible, Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, and Bernard Lonergan.

Recenzii

The book offers much that generates fresh thinking on the topic of revelation, and such material can be the basis of further discussion within one's tradition and in dialogue with others.
The book is to be recommended as a learned introduction to modern questions about revelation and as a sensible effort to embrace moderate pluralism. It provides a fruitful openness to different traditions, while never losing the belief in the uniqueness of Christian revelation.
This is an insightful and clearly written work that will be of value to students and professors of theology at the graduate level. His breadth of scholarship and depth of insight are evident in every chapter of the book.
