Special Revelation: Foundations with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon distinguishes between mediate general revelation, seen through nature and things made (Romans 1), and immediate general revelation, an inner sense of the divine or conscience (Romans 2, Calvin's sensus divinitatis). Special revelation, primarily through Scripture but not exclusively, provides knowledge of God's redemptive plan and truths unattainable through nature, ultimately offering superior knowledge derived directly from God. This understanding of revelation is foundational to Christian epistemology, asserting that divine truth surpasses human deduction and sensory experience.
