Abstract

The idea that Revelation had been brought to a close is presented in the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum, Chap. 1, § 4) : “The Christian economy, therefore, since it is the new and definitive covenant, will never pass away ; and no new public revelation is to be expected before the glorious manifestation of our Lord, Jesus Christ”. This article intends to interpret the idea of a “closed” revelation in terms of a “kenotic process”.
