What does revealed mean in religion?
In religion, revealed describes truth believed to come directly from God rather than worked out by human reason. Scriptures, prophecies, and visions are often called revealed knowledge because they are seen as divinely disclosed. A 'revealed religion' is one founded on such communication, as opposed to purely philosophical belief.
What is the difference between revealed and natural knowledge?
Revealed knowledge is believed to be disclosed by God through scripture, prophecy, or vision. Natural knowledge, by contrast, is reached through human reason, observation, and experience of the world. Many faiths draw on both — treating revelation as truth that reason alone could not discover, yet does not contradict.
What is an example of revealed truth?
In many traditions, sacred texts are the main example — the commandments given to Moses, teachings delivered through prophets, or messages received in visions are all regarded as revealed. More broadly, any belief a faith holds to have come from divine communication, rather than human discovery, counts as revealed truth.
What is the opposite of revealed?
When revealed means made known, its opposites are hidden, concealed, and secret. In a religious sense, revealed knowledge contrasts with what is discovered through reason or remains a mystery. So depending on the context, the reverse of revealed is either something kept out of sight or something not yet disclosed.
