Publisher's Synopsis
Benedict XVI's exhortation Verbum Domini is a concise summary of the theology of Scripture in the Catholic Church. This book is a graduate level analysis of the Catholic use of Scripture in prayer, liturgy and theology, as it is found in Benedict's exhortation. This is compared with other teachings on Scripture particularly from the writings of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Vatican II. Benedict XVI also shows the possible uses of the modern tools of exegesis and their limitations when dealing with the Word given by God to his Church.
