Divine Revelation: Our Moral Relation with God

By Kern Robert Trembath

In this book, Trembath attempts to address the question of the self-revealing God from the perspective of the grounding of human nature itself in God. This grounding is the moral nature of human beings, and constitutes the fundamental revelation of the self-transcending God which accounts both for how we can hear God's word on the one hand, and how we are constituted as self-transcending beings on the other. Until this grounding is accounted for, all speculations about real or alleged divine revelations are critically presumptuous. Trembath finds the moralness of human beings particularly in the capacities for knowing, loving, and hoping (which he sees as the historical expression of the Triune God) and thus in the fundamental communitarianness of human beings (which he sees as the expression of the One God.)
