Quote
“In the sequential relationship between reason and revelation, it is important that reason have what we can call ‘the first word’ and that revelation have ‘the last word.’ In this sequence, reason can ‘study it out’ and formulate a proposed solution. In addition, as we seek confirmation or other guidance from revelation, reason can serve as a threshold check to screen out revelation that is counterfeit and to provide a tentative authentication of revelation that is genuine. This is necessary because, just as there is reasoning that is faulty, so also there is revelation that is spurious.”Share
