Interfaith dialogue is possible because God reveals himself in a direct and personal way to people regardless of their religion. Earl Allyson P. Valdez (“Henri de Lubac’s Theology of Revelation: From Distance to Mystery”) provides an insight on how such an experience of the divine mystery, which transcends the God we know from reason (and theologizing!), “opens up the human heart towards a greater and richer affirmation of God … [and] summons the human person to a new life and a new way of living” (100–101). According to Valdez, de Lubac’s theology of revelation has negative and positive affirmations. On the one hand, de Lubac affirms the incomprehensibility of God, thus placing him at a distance from human reason; he cannot be reduced to the god that the human mind creates for itself. On the other hand, de Lubac points out that God reveals himself to the human person in a more direct, immediate, and inter-subjective way—as a Thou who encounters the subject at his innermost core. Spiritual writers in the ancient and the medieval Church have tried to describe this ineffable experience of the mystery of God through words and images that are extraordinary, yet convincingly honest and real. This way of understanding divine revelation shows the human creature to be essentially linked to the Creator as his final end. In and through Jesus Christ, God draws the human person to himself in a communion that is analogous to the union of the human and divine natures in Christ. – from the Editor’s Preface
