Sources and Divisions of Theology Sources (7 of 9 notes)

Part One
INTRODUCTION: 4 SOURCES AND DIVISIONS OF THEOLOGY SOURCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

4. REVELATION:
By revelation is meant a special act of God whereby He makes known to man truth that could not otherwise be known. For example, no man was present to observe the creation of the universe. Therefore the best man can do by himself is to speculate on how it came into being. With all of his probings and scientific know-how he could never be sure that he had the right answer. The Bible purports to make known by revelation how God created all things in the beginning. Whereas experiential knowledge appears to be the most convincing type, only Revelation assures of absolute truth. Apart from Revelation there might be absolute truth, but man could possess no absolute knowledge that it was so. But it should be remembered that although the Bible presents absolute truth, our understanding and comprehension of it is incomplete and relative, otherwise there would be no point in studying it.
