Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The book seeks to establish the properly oriented use of the historical-critical method as the mode of ascertaining the sense of the written Word of God. Pastors, preachers, students in biblical disciplines, and scholars will appreciate the discussion of the role of the Bible in Catholic life since Vatican Council II, the discussion that the Biblical Commission devoted to the historical truth of the Gospels, the relation of the historical-critical method of interpreting Scripture to the life of the Church, and a serious discussion of the “senses” of Scripture. The book ends with a tribute to Raymond E. Brown, SS, as a renowned representative of biblical interpretation. Unique aspects of this collection of essays: - Emphasis on the historical-critical method that is often impugned today - Recalling of a Scripture controversy in Rome because of this methodology - Importance of proper biblical interpretation in life of the Church †
