 Revelation as History. This model identifies revelation with God’s “great deeds” in salvation history. The Bible is seen as the record of these deeds, for example the Exodus or the resurrection of Jesus. The biblical text itself, however, is not part of revelation. Some representatives of this approach hold that revelation must include a supernatural cognitive assistance (illumination) so that the historical events can be interpreted correctly (Baillie 1956: 65). Others deny that this is necessary (Pannenberg 1968).
