Pope Francis to the Pontifical Biblical Commission. A history of salvation
Pope Francis to the Pontifical Biblical Commission.
A history of salvation
“Our
faith is not only centred on a book, but on a history of salvation and above all
on a Person, Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh”. The Pope said this to
members of the Pontifical Biblical Commission whom he received in Audience on
Friday morning, 12 April in the Vatican's Hall of Popes at the end of the
Plenary Assembly. The theme this year was “Inspiration and Truth in the Bible”.
In his discourse Pope Francis also stressed that “the texts inspired by God were
entrusted to the community of believers, to Christ's Church, in order to nourish
faith and guide the life of charity”. For his part, in presenting the work to
the Pope Archbishop Müller, the President, emphasized several challenges: “one
of these”, he explained, “is caused by the fact that certain texts “seem full
of violence. Christian readers are shocked and bewildered by these texts,
whereas some non-Christian readers accuse Christianity of professing and
spreading a religion that is loaded with violence”.fuente: http://www.osservatoreromano.va/portal/dt?JSPTabContainer.setSelected=JSPTabContainer%2FDetail&last=false=&path=/news/vaticano/2013/086q13-Papa-Francesco-alla-Pontificia-Commissione-.html&title=A%20history%20of%20salvation&locale=en
