What are we to make of those occasional yet illuminating
experiences of God's presence that occur outside both church and
Scripture? We may encounter God's revelatory presence as we
experience a beautiful sunset, the birth of a child, or a work of
art, music, or literature. While theologians have tended to
describe such experiences abstractly as mere traces or echoes,
those involved often recognize such moments of transcendence as
transformative.
Here senior theologian Robert Johnston explores how Christians
should think theologically about God's wider revelatory presence
that is mediated outside the church through creation, conscience,
and culture. The book offers a robust, constructive biblical
theology of general revelation, rooting its insights in the broader
Trinitarian work of the Spirit. Drawing in part from the author's
theological engagement with film and the arts, the book helps
Christians understand personal moments of experiencing God's
transcendence and accounts for revelatory experiences of those
outside the believing community. It also shows how God's revelatory
presence can impact our interaction with nonbelievers and those of
other faiths.
