Scriptures as Word of God: Christ, Tradition and Church


Scriptures and the Church. The second point brings us to a third. The Scriptures should be understood within the context of the present life of the community of faith. One has not understood the meaning of Scriptures until one sees it in relation to the concerns of the Church as she moves forward in history. One must read Scriptures from within the Church since it was written within and for the Church, i.e., the assembly of those who have responded to God's invitation in Christ. One cannot read Scriptures in isolation. Like a family album, it can only be understood within the family of the faithful.
