Divine Revelation and Human Practice

This substantial work provides important and original proposals for rearticulating the doctrine of revelation. Taking Karl Barth's doctrine of the Word of God as his point of departure, and expanding upon the work of Michael Polanyi, Clark demonstrates the integral involvement of human imagination in the revelatory event. Addressing this theme, Clark engages with the work of Michael Polanyi, whose philosophy provides a potent resource for the task, such as Polanyi's theory of tacit knowledge and its implications on articulate knowledge.
