New Critique II, p. 305 (1955) Jn 1:14

New Critique II, p. (1955)

The transcendental terminal character of the aspect of faith confronts Christian philosophy with the most difficult problems. If pistis, as the transcendental terminal function of the cosmos, has a law-sphere of its own, it must have a law-side and a subject-side. And the law-side can only be the norm prescribing the subjection of our belief to Divine Revelation, as the ultimate guarantee of certainty. The religious consummation of the meaning of Revelation is Christ Jesus, as the Word that was made flesh (John 1:14). This Word-revelation in its aspect of faith establishes the norm and contains the principium of Christian belief.
