Abstract
Christianity is a religion of supernatural revelation: to this "give all the Prophets witness." It is an assertion of the fact that the true meaning of God lies beyond the ken of the unaided human mind. Indeed, the Christian faith is so bold as to assert that "he that loveth not - and only a Christian is capable of ἀγάπη, true love - knoweth not God, for God is Love" (1 John 4:8).
