Christian theology affirms theism, belief in the existence of a supernatural God. Christian theism is essentially based on two solid foundations: special revelation (the Bible) and general revelation (the created order). While the Bible reveals the character and personality of God, page after page, the "labor, the whole universe," according to John Calvin, is revealed and reveals God every day. The psalmist says: "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Psalm 19).

James Orr, explains that the theistic position is not established by a single test track, but by "the many competing forces, from different viewpoints and independent." Christians see evidence of God everywhere. It is the Christian position that the history, theology, philosophy, science, mathematics, logic and personal experience suggest the existence of a Creator and Redeemer.

Christian theology says that God has revealed himself to people in general through the creation and in a special (personal) proves it with his divine words and acts in the Bible and especially in person of Jesus Christ. Millard Erickson defines the two forms of revelation thus: "On one hand, general revelation is God's communication of himself to all people at all times and everywhere. The special revelation to the contrary, involves direct communication of God and demonstrations are now available only by consulting some sacred texts. "

General revelation has been seen consistently throughout the history of the church for a variety of Christian theists as a necessary but not sufficient to provide knowledge about the Creator and his character. It is best theology and philosophy to start with the God of the Bible to explain the universe to begin with the universe to explain God.

According to Christian theology, the fate of humanity created involves both salvation and trial. There is general revelation, but special revelation (the Bible) that answers questions such as How I can be saved? From what I have to be saved? Why the decision was made? Special revelation, then, is "special" because it is the key that opens the door to heaven and earth.

Common traits that distinguish Olson claims the field include those made from that tradition of struggle against lighting epistemological skepticism, doubt, and the centrality of the "spirituality" on the doctrine or truth in a more seems very comfortable in the Enlightenment modernism. These ideas were grown in that famous line of Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx and Kierkegarrd through Neitschze, and Bradley, with Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Foucault, Derrida and Rorty most recently in our own strange time. Of course none of these except perhaps Kierkegarrd Husserl and demand much more of an affinity for Christianity and Christ, but many of them were religious men of one kind or another. Bradley thought could be described like this in their approach to the implementation of Hegel's doctrine of internal relations in the front and the idealism of so influential in the thought of Cornelius Van Til in the back.
