 This reasoning will not convince those who deny the existence of propositions (see, e.g., Westphal 1999 for an anti-realist critique). However, among those who accept propositions, many have taken the contrast that Hordern and others draw between revelation of propositions and divine self-revelation to be misconceived. God could not reveal himself without simultaneously revealing (making knowable) some propositions about himself. Propositions must figure in the content (a) of both propositional and manifestational revelations. In manifestational revelations, however, they do not figure as means (k).
