Religious revelation is a life lived in purposive relationship to the supreme value when that supreme value is not passively waited for but actively pursues the human consciousness, breaking in and reorienting it; this differs from Platonic contemplation where the good dumbly waits to be found.

“when the sumimbonum is after me...breaking into my reluctant and recalcitrant consciousness...the good confronts us and it changes us and it doesn't let us go...religious revelation is the sort of ultimate expression of that”
