This paper rehabilitates a central problem for philosophy of revelation brought into relief by the responsibility for transmitting religious beliefs and practices to future generations. Transmission is a communicative endeavor essential to the task of religion. However, the concept of "revelation," philosophically considered, resists the possibility of communication in the first place by exceeding the conditions of communicability. As such, revealed religion cannot expect to transmit the revelation that constitutes it to future generations by legitimate means. Thus, under what immanent conditions might divine transcendence appear as communicable without violating divine transcendence? I argue that epistemological and phenomenological approaches to revelation have not adequately answered this question. I argue that philosophical hermeneutics in a Gadamerian vein offers conceptual tools for conceiving of language as the medium required for a robust notion of revelation as communicable. Gadamer's philosophy of transmission (Überlieferung) trades on concepts of transcendence that can countenance religious revelation.
