Revelation
Revelation is the transmission of knowledge from the divine to the human. It is knowledge given by God to human beings about people, events and things previously hidden or only partly known.
Includes biblical revelations and revelations evident throughout the whole of human history.
Christians believe that revelations are not only God's self-communication to human beings, but also a loving and utterly free invitation to join in friendship with God.
God's self-revelation is utterly centred on Jesus Christ yet this does not neglect the essential roles of the father and of the Holy Spirit.
God's fullest revelation takes place through the words, deeds and events associated with the person of Christ.
Revelation continues to happen as God continues to speak throughout human history- through its historical events, through Christianity, through world religions, through all the joys, hopes and frustrations of the entire world.
