(Samuel John) Jerram, Samuel John Thoughts on a Revelation Transcribed from the 1862 Wertheim, Macintosh and Hunt edition by David Price "Thoughts on a Revelation" by S. J. Jerram is a philosophical treatise that was written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the 1860s. This book delves into the complex topic of divine revelation, discussing the nature of God and the means through which humanity can obtain knowledge of the divine. The author reflects on various methods of understanding God, arguing that knowledge cannot be acquired through ordinary faculties or instinct alone, and hence must be sought through revelation. In this work, Jerram articulates the conditions necessary for a legitimate revelation, emphasizing its need for authenticity, limited understanding based on human capacity, and contextual relevance to the time of its dissemination. He argues that while the Bible is the primary avenue through which revelations can be understood, the transmission and interpretation of such texts require a careful approach to language and human understanding. Throughout the discourse, Jerram addresses potential objections to the notion of divine revelation and asserts the continuous relevance of biblical teaching in guiding moral and spiritual affairs. The book sets out a framework for understanding how revelation may be received, recorded, and accepted, providing a thoughtful exploration of faith and reason in the context of spirituality.
