Religion and the gradual education of faith through revelation
A review of a religious book arguing faith develops as God reveals Himself through history. The author traces how early knowledge of God arose from transactions and visions, then progressed through patriarchal history, Moses, the Exodus, and the prophetic and messianic eras to form a historical faith guiding belief. It emphasizes teaching religion as history and the evolving moral perception of divine likeness.
