Neither Sola Scriptura, Nor Solus Spiritus: The revelation in the human dimension

This present article aims to discuss the revelation in the human dimension. In this sense, it presupposes that both in the historical Protestantism as in the Pentecostalism, such dimension and its derived contingencies were not properly considered, as both traditions make use of an alleged “guarantee of purity” from the revelation. In the historical protestantism such guarantee was sought in the Scriptures, in a way that by evoking the authority of the Scripture the Reformers believed they could ensure the integrity of the revelation, within a supposed "sanitized environment". In the pentecostalism, this supposed security was guaranteed by the Spirit, after all, it’s fueled by strong expectation of a personal meeting with God, and that such <em>immediacy </em>would ensure the purity of the revelation. By assuming human limitations and subjectivity that are inherent in receiving a revelation, we propose, therefore, <em>a revelation that is constituted within the limits of history</em>; <em>a revelation that is constituted within the limits of language; a revelation that is constituted within the limits of human vulnerability
