I am finding it difficult to find proper sources to rewrite this article. Most stuff I can find is ultimately somebody's personal opinion, any ideas? Sam Hayes 23:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
The article currently skews heavily toward usage by "evangelical scientists" and other evangelicals. However, the term continues to be used widely among other Christian communities to distinguish between God’s acts which are available to all via nature or creation (general revelation) and the unique revelation in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ (special or specific revelation). The POV needs to take into account use of the term by the wider community of mainstream Christianity. (It is also possible, though I am not aware of it, that the term "special revelation" is also used outside of Christian theology by other religious communities.) If necessary a specific section on distinctive use within the subset of evangelical Christianity and/or "evangelical scientists" can be created.
Once the semester is over in two weeks I will try to make a stab at rewriting this article, but anyone else can take a crack at it in the meantime.
