| Summary: | For Ratzinger, the truth of Revelation (as person) cannot be confined to empirical, positivistic statements. His interpretation of Revelation centres on a deeply mystical view of faith, which, through the Church, gives access to a real experiential knowledge of God in Christ. His view of history, tradition and categories of wisdom and purity of heart give eyes to see the work of the Spirit in symphonic-multiplicity and facilitate new insights through dialogue with the logos in new contexts. New insights into Revelation are given without an accommodation to relativism, the ideological grasping of modernity or the fashionable fluidity of a postmodern culture. |
