Natural and Special Revelation: A Reassessment

|
“The boundaries and the limits of natural revelation and special revelation are set. Natural revelation is a distinct and separate revelation, communicating God’s imprint upon the created universe; special revelation is a distinct and separate revelation, communicating God’s saving activity to humanity. Although distinct and separate, the two revelations are complimentary and do not contradict […]

Theses on Natural Theology

|
“Recent Reformed theology has not held natural theology in high esteem, and that for understandable reasons. Enlightenment thinkers (Catholic, Protestant, and secular) often treated natural theology as a pre-dogmatic discipline, i.e., as a discipline that could and should be established independently of biblical revelation before turning to biblical revelation to establish the truths of dogmatic […]
