The first, Dei
Verbum ( The Word of God") is the Second Vatican Council's
Dogmatic
Constitution on Divine Revelation. In it you'll read
of the Church's
rich understanding of the Bible's divine inspiration
and interpretation;
the nature of the Old and New Testaments; and Scripture's
role in the
Life of the Church. The second document, The
Interpretation of the Bible
in the Church, by the Pontifical Biblical Commission,
was presented to
Pope John Paul II on April 23, 1993. This document

Church's current assessment of the common methods

hermeneutical
questions, and reflects on the genuine characteristics
of
Catholic biblical interpretation in the life of the
Church.

of Christ." These are illustrated journeys through
