Revelation

Revelation in philosophical theology refers to the ways in which knowledge about the divine or ultimate truths is revealed to humans. This can occur through sacred texts, religious experiences, nature, or the teachings of spiritual leaders. Unlike knowledge gained through reason or experimentation, revelation is seen as a special insight into divine reality that transcends ordinary understanding. It raises questions about the nature of faith, the authority of religious teachings, and how humans interpret and respond to these divine messages in their beliefs and lives. Ultimately, it impacts how individuals and communities relate to the sacred.
