What is The Idea of Revelation in Recent Thought about?
Nothing is more central to Christian thought, or has been from the beginning, than the belief that God has revealed Himself, His mind, and His will to man. The ideal of revelation continues to present its challenge in men's lives; and the great philosophers, no less than the community of believers, have wrestled with it. Dr. John Baillie reminds us that the question has not always been thought difficult, that throughout the greater part of Christian history any intelligent schoolboy could have stated the meaning of revelation in terms not contradictory to the formulation of it by St. Thomas Aquinas. The value of this small book can hardly be exaggerated. While Dr. Baillie carefully compares and summarizes the positions of modern theologians, his main concern is with the impact of revelation in men's lives. The wisdom, the sincerity, and objectivity with which he approaches his subject make this a truly distinguished contribution to the theological literature addressed to a general reader
