| Summary: | For Karl Rahner the human being is a ›question without any definite answer‹, that is, although human beings have an unquenchable desire to know what do they want to know, this desire will never be fully satisfied. This view does not only have direct implications for the concept of the human person but for that of God as well. Divine self-revelation does not consist in precise answers to the human desire to know but rather it directs the human being towards God as the ultimate incomprehensible question. In this article, I am arguing that the Johannine theology of revelation complies with this view. From an exegetical perspective I am presenting the dynamics of revelation, which result in the insight that any proper understanding of divine self-revelation has at its center ›agape‹ - love, which allows us to go deeper and deeper into the divine mystery. |
