Novel Ideas Identified

1. Revelation as Invitation: Unlike a static declaration, revelation in Scripture is an invitation to dialogue, reflection, and understanding.
2. Progressive and Relational Revelation: God reveals Himself over time, through different means (prophets, direct speech, the Holy Spirit).
3. The Role of Engagement in Revelation: Understanding God's revelation requires human response, as seen in Moses’ conversation with God or Peter’s confession of Christ.
4. The Structure of Revelation in Scripture: The passage from Revelation 1:1 shows a pattern where revelation flows from God through intermediaries to His people.
5. The Holy Spirit as a Guide in Ongoing Revelation: Revelation is not just historical but continues as the Spirit leads believers into truth.
