Intertwining role of special revelation and general revelation in the theological task of discovering God?
A good question that is often debated by scholars.
In general.....General revelation is that knowledge that comes through nature and is available to every person. According to Paul, it teaches us that God exists and that God is righteous. Special revelation is that knowledge that comes to a specific people (the Jews) and person (Jesus Christ). Such special knowledge is not available to everyone - for example, people need to be told about Jesus and the salvation that comes through him.
