What is Revelation?

Against the growing skepticism of the nineteenth century, Maurice argues that revelation is not merely information about God, but God’s own self-disclosure in Jesus Christ. God does not simply tell us about Himself—He makes Himself known.

The first half of the book consists of seven sermons showing how Christ reveals the Father through His life, miracles, parables, and dealings with ordinary people. The second half is a series of letters responding to Henry Mansel’s Bampton Lectures on the limits of religious thought, defending the possibility of truly knowing God while insisting that He always remains infinitely greater than our understanding.
