I was reading an article about the evolution of the idea of 'revelation' in Christian tradition and was happy to see the author rightly pointing out that the idea of revelation today is no more that of a set of doctrines and beliefs. Revelation has more to do with the person. Earlier the understanding of faith was a assent to a list of doctrines and practices, today it is all about relationship with a Person. Furthermore, we have clearly moved on from a clear-cut doctrine and a well-defined faith formula to a point where we realise that faith is not something so defined and definite. It is revealed through inexhaustive signs and symbols.
All this said and done, it still needs to be lived...
