The Oxford Handbook of Divine Revelation

by Balázs M. Mezei (Editor), Francesca Aran Murphy (Editor), Kenneth Oakes (Editor)

Overview

The Oxford Handbook of Divine Revelation offers a systemic approach to the notion of revelation in its various theoretical contexts. It provides in-depth coverage of the theoretical and historical fields in which the notion of revelation is discussed. It does not reflect the views of a certain school; under the horizon of contemporary discussions it offers the broadest understanding of the notion. Its main parts include biblical, theological, philosophical, historical, comparative, and scientific-cultural approaches. The contributors discuss the most important contemporary questions in theology, philosophy, and science. The Handbook offers a unique overview of the key problems of revelation, an overview missing from scholarly literature. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, the collection opens up further possibilities of scholarly work and spiritual vistas concerning the notion and the fact of divine revelation.

Editorial Reviews

"The handbook is a beautifully produced work, as befits the central subject of divine revelation. [It] provides a set of exciting, well informed, and judicious essays that, from different angles, treat expertly an utterly foundational theme of Christian prayer, life, and worship: the divine self-revelation." — Gerald O'Collins, Jesuit Theological College

"This Oxford Handbook is a vast undertaking, which resources precisely such a re-appraisal. It is unusual in a volume of this sort not to find a single essay that is disappointing." — Oliver Keenan, Modern Believing
