For Catholics seeking deeper scriptural understanding

Challenges outdated methods of Bible interpretation

You will enrich your faith through new exegetical insights

Discover profound insights on biblical interpretation from leading Catholic thinkers.

This volume was written by a group of eminent Catholics, including Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger - now Pope Benedict XVI. In these erudite essays the authors contend that historical-critical interpretation of Scripture has long since run its course in both Protestant and Catholic exegesis. Instead, they argue, the future of interpretation lies in accepting that the Bible is not just a collection of historical documents but also a record of revelation conceived in faith. By this token, true exegesis involves the faith and humility of the exegete.
