The article is a presentation of basic elements of the theology of God’s Word developed in the Catholic Church more decidedly after the Vatican Council II. In the Introduction the author states that he is discussing the 12th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in Rome that took place in the days 5-26 October 2008, and whose subject was “God’s Word in the Life and Mission of the Church” In order to make preparations for reading the document drawn up by the Synod he first proposes a reflection on the mystery and history of God’s Word. In the second part he writes about the efficiency of God’s Word, its function of making Christ present, its ecclesiological activity and indispensability for awakening man’s act of faith and for the dynamism of it. In the third part he points to the Holy Spirit as a source of power and at the same time a gift of God’s Word.
