Divine Revelation — God’s Saving Word
Part 3 of "Authority and Continuity", a Word on Fire Institute six-part mini-series examining the Second Vatican Council.
In this mini-series, Dr Richard DeClue sheds light on precisely what the Catholic bishops discussed and debated at Vatican II, and he explains why it is important for Catholics today to understand. Vatican II was the twenty-first ecumenical council and produced sixteen documents: four Constitutions, nine Decrees, and three Declarations.
“Flowing from the same divine wellspring — Sacred tradition and Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the word of God, committed to the Church” (Dei Verbum 9,10).
The topic of divine revelation is inseparable from the Church, precisely because the Church was divinely established by Christ to transmit this revelation throughout the world.
In this lecture, we will answer several questions about divine revelation:
- Who reveals it?
- What is revealed?
- Where, when, and how is it revealed?
- What is the purpose of revelation?
