“The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day” (Proverbs 4:18).
“Unitarians believe that revelation comes in a progressive order. As man develops intellectually, morally and spiritually, so are the truths of God’s wonderful worlds made known. The discovery in every sphere of human activity has been gradual, and religion forms no exception to this rule. In the Bible itself can be traced the development of the idea of God from a being made in human form and possessed of human weaknesses to the conception he is Spirit and Heavenly Father who is perfect. Every idea must bide its time…. God reveals his truth to man as he ascends Godward (Alfred Hall, “Revelation and Inspiration,” The Beliefs of a Unitarian [London: Lindsey Press, 1932]).
