Avery Dulles byl jezuitský kněz, teolog a kardinál, jehož dílo se zaměřuje na hluboké zkoumání náboženské víry a církevní nauky. Jeho spisy se vyznačují akademickou precizností a zároveň osobním zájmem o vztah mezi vírou a moderní společností. Dulles se zabýval především podstatou církve, jejím místem ve světě a vývojem teologického myšlení. Jeho práce nabízí čtenářům pronikavý vhled do komplexních náboženských otázek s důrazem na jejich relevanci pro současný život.
In Models of Revelation Avery Dulles explores the doctrine at the very center of Christianity: that Christianity is based on the world of God as given to the church. Following the format of his earlier Models of the Church, Dulles derives five models of character of this much-neglected theme of revelation. He considers revelation as doctrine, as history, as inner experience, as dialectical presence, and as new awareness.
