Revelation

What is important about revelation is not that we seek to interpret it in the same way but that we all love it and are transformed by it. To fail to recognize this would be similar to an art critic saying that what is important when considering a piece of art is that we interpret it correctly rather than loving it and being challenged by it. Indeed, this is what happens when we see various groups and denominations being set up that are founded upon the supposedly 'correct' interpretation of revelation. While joining together in groups that share the same Christian tradition has an important role, the problem arises when we claim that we have the right interpretation while all those who disagree with us are ignorant, deluded or sinfully turning their eye away from the clear light of revelation.—Peter Rollins, How (Not) to Speak of God (Brewster, MA: Paraclete Press,  2006),  p. 17.
