	abstract = {Re-engaging Dulles{\textquoteright} theology of revelation as symbolic communication, where revelatory symbols engage the community in this fourfold way of participation, transformation, new commitment and behavior, and new understandings opens a profound way to dialogue with the internet, itself entirely a symbolic medium. Can we claim then, that because of this commonality of symbol, that the internet therefore is an appropriate medium for the transmission of revelation in the context of religious education? This is the guiding question of the present paper. This essay first constructs the theological foundation for pursuing this question, by revisiting Avery Dulles{\textquoteright} theology of revelation as symbolic communication, and his fourfold schema of participation, transformation, new behavior and commitments, and new awareness and understanding. Bringing the internet into the discussion, this essay next investigates how the category of symbolic communication fits with the internet as the specific communicative medium. Finally, this essay explores specific points of convergence and divergence between Dulles{\textquoteright} fourfold schema and internet-mediated communication.},
