Revealed religion’s dual naming holds divine self-gift and external donation together.

Evidence

This absolute religion is the revelatory (offenbare) religion, the religion that has itself as its content and fulfilment (Erfüllung). But it is also called the revealed (geoffenbarte) religion – which means, on the one hand, that it is revealed by God, that God has given himself for human beings to know what he is; and on the other hand, that it is a revealed, positive religion in the sense that it has come from without (von Außen), has been given to them. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1363

• DEFINE: Distinguishes offenbare (revelatory) from geoffenbarte (revealed/positive) as twin senses both held by Christianity — a fine-grained definitional distinction relevant to God’s passivity-receptivity plasticity question.
