Revelation and Reason in Christian Theology

Description

Do revelation and reason contradict?Throughout the churchÕs history Christians have been tempted to make revelation and reason mutually exclusive. But both are essential to a true understanding of the faith.The inaugural Theology Connect conferenceÑheld in Sydney in July 2016Ñwas dedicated to surveying the intersection of revelation and reason. In Revelation and Reason in Christian Theology Christopher C. Green and David I. Starling draw together the fruit of this conference to provoke sustained, deep reflection on this relationship. The essaysÑfiltered through epistemological, biblical, historical, and dogmatic lensesÑcritically and constructively contribute to this important and developing aspect of theology.Each essayist approaches revelation and reason according to the psalmistÕs words: ÒIn your light we see lightÓ (Ps 36:9). The light of faith does not obscure truth; rather, it enables us to see truth.
