Christians know who God is through Jesus Christ. Humans as creatures encounter the transcendence of the Divine through this revelation. Christians believe that God is revealed in Jesus Christ. This revelatory belief is the core theological conviction of Christianity and establishes a basic theological knowing. A study on revelation, thus, ultimately focuses on the nature of God who is active in the world. This relationship between God and the world is critical because we can understand who God is by way of how God engages the world. It is imperative to probe the dynamic relationship between God’s transcendence and the world’s immanence. This paper aims to examine this dynamic relationship in light of a theology of nature. First, it explores the roles of Christianity as a religion in order to engage the revealed reality of the world. This exploration includes a historical review of how revelation has been presented in modern theologies. Secondly, the present tense of the revelation (here and now) and its encompassing epistemology will be examined from a perspective of ecological knowing. This epistemological examination leads to the proposal of a theological reconstruction of complicated reciprocity between the revelation (that which is known) and the epistemology (that which is knowing). Finally, the paper offers a further study of ecological epistemology that may be able to advance a theological study of revelation and epistemology.
