Sep 1, 1997 · Catholics are often accused of arguing in a “vicious circle,” proving the Bible by the Church, and the Church by the Bible. We must be careful to avoid this by explaining that we put the Church before the Bible because the Church existed first and wrote and compiled the Bible. The authority of the Bible depends on that of the Church. Then ...

Who wrote the Bible? Was it God? Or was it human beings? The answer for Catholics is a resounding “Yes!” The Bible is the word of God in the words of human beings. God is the primary author of the Bible, so we know that whatever Scripture asserts to be true is in fact true. When we understand it correctly, the Bible will never lead us astray.
The Bible is divided into two main parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament was written before Jesus’ life, and the New Testament was written after. There are many different kinds of books in the Old Testament, including history, poetry, and prophecy. The Old Testament contains wisdom and knowledge about God and about ourse...
God inspired human beings to write the Bible. These men used their own abilities and perspectives to write the books that became part of the Bible. For example, Luke says he did research into the sources of the information he put into the Bible. Luke was also a skilled storyteller, and he tells the life of Christ in a very engaging way. God did not...
Catholics believe that whatever the Bible asserts to be true is actually true. Does this mean that God must have created the world in seven 24-hour days, or that Jesus wants us to cut off body parts if they lead us to sin? No! Not everything stated in Scripture is asserted. The truth the author of Genesis wanted to convey was that God created the w...
Because God inspired the Bible, Catholics need to interpret the Bible in the light of the Holy Spirit. At heart, the Bible has one author, so when Catholics interpret the Bible they understand that the Bible will never contradict itself. The Holy Spirit guides the Church in a special way. He guided the Church in its process of discerning which book...
Even though the Church is the primary interpreter of the Bible, every Catholic should make the Bible a part of his or her life. Even for those who cannot read, whether because they are too young or are in a country where literacy is uncommon, the Church proclaims the Bible at every Mass. The Church says that Catholics should read the Bible frequent...
Jun 1, 2024 · First, we should distinguish two possible senses of the phrase, “reading the Bible as a Catholic.” “Reading” could be a synonym for “interpreting” or “understanding,” which raises the question of a Catholic hermeneutic —an interpretive system or methodology. On the other hand, “reading” could be taken as “daily reading” or “devotional reading,” which raises the ...
Oct 12, 2023 · The Catholic version of the Bible became church dogma at the Council of Trent in 1546. The fourth canon said: "Moreover, this sacred and holy Synod,—considering that no small utility may accrue to the Church of God, if it be made known which out of all the Latin editions, now in circulation, of the sacred books, is to be held as authentic—ordains and declares, that the said old and vulgate ...

Sep 18, 2022 · The Catholic Church is open to the fruits of modern, scientific study of the Scripture. This has resulted in acknowledging, for instance, that a Catholic need not believe Moses wrote the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) nor to take as literal every detail of the creation stories in Genesis.
