In religion and theology, revelation is the revealing or disclosing, through active or passive communication with supernatural entities. Some religions have religious texts which they view as divinely or supernaturally revealed or inspired.

Some people hold that God can communicate with man in a way that gives direct, propositional content: This is termed verbal revelation. Orthodox Judaism and traditional Christianity hold that the first five books of Moses were dictated by God in such a fashion.

The Aristotelian scholastic philosophers of the medieval era held that revelation was the discovery of absolute truths about God, man, and man's place in God's universe, as discovered through logical philosophical inquiry. A prophet's connection to God was held to be the only way that a person could reach such a state of pure reason.
