ST201: Systematic Theology — Revelation: God Known in Creation and Scripture

This episode outlines a comprehensive theological framework for understanding how the divine is disclosed through general and special revelation. The text moves from the Creator-creature distinction, which necessitates divine accommodation for human understanding, to a detailed exploration of how God is known globally through creation and conscience versus specifically through Jesus Christ and Holy Scripture. By synthesizing historical perspectives from figures like Aquinas, Calvin, and Barth, the material highlights diverse traditions' views on the validity of natural theology and the "noetic effects of sin" that cloud human reason. Ultimately, the lesson serves to equip ministry practitioners with the pastoral and apologetic tools necessary to affirm God's presence in the natural world while upholding the indispensable necessity of the Gospel and written Word for redemptive knowledge.
