Features: The terms "bringing out," "enriching," and "harmonizing" involve many issues that cannot all be sufficiently 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 historical periods as the horizontal thread. It connects the origin 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 his theological knowledge were stronger, the narrative of this book might have greater depth.
