4.0 license. Experiences of hearing the voice of God (or angels,
demons, or other spiritual beings) have generally been understood
either as religious experiences or else as a feature of mental
illness. Some critics of traditional religious faith have dismissed
the visions and voices attributed to biblical characters and saints
as evidence of mental disorder. However, it is now known that many
ordinary people, with no other evidence of mental disorder, also
hear voices and that these voices not infrequently include
spiritual or religious content. Psychological and interdisciplinary
research has shed a revealing light on these experiences in recent
years, so that we now know much more about the phenomenon of
"hearing voices" than ever before. The present work considers
biblical, historical, and scientific accounts of spiritual and
mystical experiences of voice hearing in the Christian tradition in
order to explore how some voices may be understood theologically as
revelatory. It is proposed that in the incarnation, Christian faith
finds both an understanding of what it is to be fully human (a
theological anthropology), and God's perfect self-disclosure
(revelation). Within such an understanding, revelatory voices
represent a key point of interpersonal encounter between human
beings and God.
