 A concept that has figured importantly in debates about the means of revelation is “propositional revelation”. Wolterstorff claims that this is just another name for non-manifestational revelation. Since propositions are an essential part of the means (k) of non-manifestational revelations (as we will see), there seems to be good reason for this identification. However, in twentieth century theology, “propositional revelation” has received something of a bad reputation. A typical criticism is expressed by Hordern: “What God reveals is not propositions or information—what God reveals is God” (Hordern 1959: 61–62; see also Baillie 1956: 28; Kelsey 1975: 32; Schwöbel 1990: 34; Williams 2000: 131). In modern theology, “propositional” accounts of revelation are often said to have given way to a focus on divine “self-revelation”.
