This is an outline of my talk in the recollection I have given to my parishioners this advent season 1. The Necessity of Revelation 2 kinds of revelation normal supernormal 2. Revelation as a historical fact 3. Revelation as an inner experience Dogma as protective husk 4. Proclaimed Revelation Spoken/written word The Scriptures becomes the Word of God only when spoken 5.
