IV, Preface, Translation of J. Rickaby. Revelation 179 this access to truth does not occupy a very large place in the general scheme of revelation set forth by scholasticism. This notion of a closed external revelation passed over with some modifications into Protestantism. The Bible came to be identified with revelation. In order to buttress and secure its claims miracles became the accepted guarantee and attestation of revelation, affording together with prophecy "the direct and fundamental p...roofs of Christianity." ^ But it was inevitable that this closed and sacro- sanct body of revealed truth should in time come to be disregarded, if not distrusted. Thus ration- alism arose, and in the eighteenth century carried theology far from the central truths of Christi- anity. The truths of " natural theology " came to have much more of authority than those of " reve- lation." Bishop Butler made a valiant effort to reinstate revelation by showing that the same diffi- culties are to be found in the system of nature as in revelation, an argument now recognised as logically doubling rather than lessening the burden of proof he undertook.
