Call this the week for me to catch up with what's going on around town, or in the internet society, around this part of the world.
A few weeks ago, the CCCB re-issued one of it's most popular resources entitled The Word of God in Scripture. The first issue of this resource was published in 1999, and stocks have now been depleated. This 20-page guide which helps Catholics to read and interpret the bible has been reissued but this time it's available on-line so the user can print his-her own copy right from the comfort of home.
The Word of God in Scripture begins by showing the importance and place of the written Word of God in the whole of Christian life. It presents the conditions for fruitful reading of the Bible, suggests a plan to follow, and offers a list of tools for deeper study. Finally, the guide offers some criteria for interpreting the Bible. 'The words of the Bible are indivisibly both the Word of God and human words that are directed toward faith, and are to be understood in the community of the living Church,' the guide indicates.
More information about this guide is available on the website of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
