Adhortacja «Verbum Domini» a przyszłość dyskusji o rozumieniu natchnienia

Abstract

The new document of Benedict XVI is dedicated to pastoral and practical topics in biblical matter, but we can find in this exhortation also very important remarks about theological questions. The most important of them is the new approach to idea of biblical inspiration founded in the theology of God’s word. The Pope presents biblical inspiration as the actual process in the Church. Presence of God in his Word – Jesus and in the word of the Scripture requires the theological method for the biblical study. This method has to be able to present this theological reality, not only historical, sociological, or literary aspect of the Bible. This way to understand biblical inspiration is possible point of departure for the methodological research, but it is the task of scholars.
