About the book >.>.> We have now reached the following conclusions. The divine revelation is given in acts rather than in words and is received by those whose eyes God opens to see the significance of what He does. The eyes of the biblical writers were opened to see the significance of certain events as the key-feature for the understanding of the universe. They proclaim that these events manifest God’s redemptive activity and by surveying the universe from this standpoint they are enabled to recognise elsewhere His creative and preservative activity. The Bible comes to us in the form of propositions because only by statements in the form of propositions could those whose eyes were opened bear record to future generations of what they saw. It is not these propositions as such which are the revelatum. They bear record to the revelatum but as the ages go by they can only continue to mediate the revelation in so far in each generation men’s eyes are opened to see for themselves the significance of the revelatory acts of God to which they bear witness.
