Continuing Revelation

Continuing Revelation is a phrase that has been popularized within the Quaker tradition. Here is how it is used and what makes it problematic.

The key difference of continuing revelation and remix is in function.

Continuing Revelation functions as a move of supplanting the past, another argument, or worldview. It functions within

Quaker exceptionalism⁠

both towards its own tradition and towards others.

Remix is about honoring the past in order to build something new

Continuing Revelation is about "revelation" - could be divine, could be science, other forms of data, could be individualized as in "I see it differently now."

⁠

Remix⁠

does not seek to be so lofty.
