I'm reading Peter Jensen's book, The Revelation of God. (InterVarsity Press, 2002). The work is substantial. After commenting on 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, where Paul describes the significance of the gospel, Jensen made this comment. I think it is helpful in understanding the doctrine of revelation.
"By God we learn God. The gospel is the very means by which God prosecutes his work in the world; it is the way he applies the salvation of the atoning death of Jesus to men and women. Since the gospel is about God's grace, the way to knowing God is a way of grace...It (the gospel) teaches us what revelation is and what it achieves." (Page.37)
