Revelation as Testimony

Modern Theology "A concise and coherent account of revelation as testimony. . . . Convincing." Horizons "The author writes with exceptional lucidity and clarifies the book's complex subject matter with illuminating illustrations. . . . A valuable book that henceforth must be reckoned with in discussions of the nature of revelation." Reinhard Huetter -- Duke Divinity School "An extraordinarily lucid and deftly argued philosophical defense and theological appropriation of revelation as testimony. Wahlberg's astute interrogation of Protestant liberal, neo-orthodox, and postliberal accounts of revelation alone is worth the price of the book, and his discussion of miracles in connection with testimony is one of the most intelligent I have read in recent years. The book's exemplary clarity and grace of style make it a delight to read. This is the best work on revelation by a philosophical theologian in years. Tolle, lege! Take and read!" Nicholas Wolterstorff -- Yale University "Mats Wahlberg's Revelation as Testimony is extraordinary -- extraordinary in its bold challenge to the widespread assumption by theologians that 'propositional revelation' is an untenable idea, extraordinary in the skill with which it employs recent discussions by philosophers to develop the idea of revelation as testimony, extraordinary in the cogency and lucidity of its argumentation. No responsible discussion of revelation henceforth -- whether by theological liberals or by theological conservatives -- can fail to take account of Wahlberg's penetrating discussion. I predict that it will be a 'game changer.' " Catholic Library World "This well-researched and documented text is also well written and will be necessary reading for all graduate students of theology."
