Kurt Hübner gives a systematic analysis of mythical and non-mythical elements of Christian revelation, which are connected inseparably to each other, in the first part of his work. In the second part, he describes the different fruitless efforts in the history of metaphysics to replace or disprove the revelation by scientific reason.
Christian faith today is criticized as being inconsistent with science. However, as the modern philosophy of science has demonstrated, reality has many dimensions, and science is only one approach to reality. As surprising as it may seem, mythical and religious experiences are among the other approaches, and they are just as important as the scientific approaches. Based on this recognition, the author gives a systematic analysis of mythical and non-mythical elements of Christian revelation, which are connected inseparably to each other, in the first part of his work. In the second part, he describes the different fruitless efforts in the history of metaphysics to replace or disprove the revelation by scientific reason.
