In his discussion of accommodation, Thomas Hartwell Horne, the English theologian, distinguishes between the 'form' and 'essence' of revelation. The former refers to the manner in which the Biblical text expresses its content; the latter, to the content which is expressed through the Biblical text. Thus, there are two possible kinds of Biblical accommodation: one which holds that merely the "expressive form" of the Bible is modified to accord with human capacities; and a stronger version, which holds that the "content" of the Bible is modified to conform with human perceptions of divine reality, to the extent that it may be literally false.
