Features: The terms "bringing out," "enriching," and "harmonizing" involve many issues that cannot all be adequately addressed in one book. The author's idea is to first provide a preliminary, comprehensive overview, with the rationality of revelation as the vertical thread and the historical periods as the horizontal thread. It connects the origins of the rationality of revelation in ancient times and links to contemporary phenomenology's discourse on God and religious interpretation. Since the book discusses the rationality of revelation, it inevitably involves some theological discussions. The author regrets not having systematically studied theology; if he had a better grasp of theology, the narrative in this book might have been more profound.
