Sense of the Divine, A : An Affective Model of General Revelation from the Reformed Tradition
Outline : How should one make sense of the Christian confession that God has instilled a \'sense of divinity\' in every person? While other approaches have identified the sense with a perceptual or cognitive faculty or with the empirical reports of theistic belief, this Element advances an affective model of general revelation, which draws from the writings of the neo-Calvinist branch of the Reformed tradition. The author argues that the sense of divinity refers to an implanted \'feeling of divinity\', a sensus numinis, and that this model makes better sense of the Christian witness, theologically re-orients the empirical findings from the cognitive science of religion, and eludes influential objections against the doctrine of general revelation.
