7 The Quest / How Do We Know?

This seventh episode of The Quest / How Do We Know? asserts that the postmodern world has split off the conscious mind from its roots in the unconscious, so that those ways of interaction between the conscious and unconscious ––dream, vision, ritual, and religious experience, or revelation-- have largely been lost. It maintains that revelation is and reason are not antithetical, and that the purpose of revelation is not to convey a body of information, or to function as the infallible communication of concepts, doctrines, or formulas, but rather to disclose the reality of God. The Bible is not itself revelation but rather the witness to revelatory events.
