It depends on how those words are defined. Generally speaking, we use the word "Revelation" for the communication of the Logos to man through the Prophets. Inspiration is a more general concept which can apply to anyone. However, I think it is important not to get hung up on the words. Sometimes, based on different terminologies, people can think they agree (or disagree) with each other, while perhaps the opposite is true. With regards, Mark A.
