IV.
THE VALUE OF GENERAL REVELATION
In determining the value of general revelation, people run the risk of either overestimating it or underestimating it.
Some give at least the impression that what is revealed through general revelation proves the existence of the true God of the Bible.
This seems to overestimate its value.
Others assign it no value, but this is wrong since the Bible does reflect the use of these arguments.
What, then, is its proper value?
A. To Display God’s Grace
B. To Give Weight to the Case for Theism
C. To Justly Condemn Rejecters
