| Summary: | One important approach to the theme of divine revelation proceeds by way of reflection on theophany, the appearing of God. Yet, as Jean-Louis Chrétien has argued, the latter cannot be thought without implying and calling for a conception of theocrypsis, the mystery of God. This appearing that is also a concealing is of interest to phenomenology no less than to theology. Among phenomenologists, Heidegger has thought concealment together with unconcealment most rigorously, showing that being is both concealed and unconcealed by beings. Being, however, is not God, and a careful juxtaposition of the distinct manners in which Being and God appear sheds some light on the task of understanding what is proper to divine revelation. |
