The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture: The Word that Comes from God and Speaks of God for the Salvation of the World

In his 2009 post-synodal apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini, Pope Benedict XVI pointed out that â€œtheological reflection has always considered inspiration and truth as two key concepts for an ecclesial hermeneutic of the sacred Scripturesâ€ and that there is today the need â€œfor a fuller and more adequate study of these realities, in order to better respond to the need of interpreting the sacred texts in accordance with their nature.â€
Â
The Inspiration and Truth of Sacred Scripture: The Word That Comes from God and Speaks of God for the Salvation of the World is the contribution of the Pontifical Biblical Commission toward a more adequate understanding of the concepts of inspiration and truth that respects both the nature of the Bible and its significance for the life of the Church. Drawing on a close reading of the Scriptures themselves, the document focuses on three main aspects:
1.Â Â Â The inspiration of Sacred Scripture and the exploration of its divine provenance
2.Â Â Â The truth of the Word of God, emphasizing the message about God and his project of salvation
3.Â Â Â Challenges that arise from the Bible itself, on account of certain aspects that seem inconsistent with its quality of being the Word of God
Â
Reading this document, formally approved by Pope Francis, will strengthen the reader to receive the word of Godâ€”in the liturgical assembly and in every other placeâ€”in its theological, Christological, soteriological, and ecclesiological context in a way that corresponds ever more closely to this unique gift of God whereby God communicates his very self and invites us into communion with him.
