The Gift of Scripture
The Bishops of England and Wales, and of Scotland, have now prepared a new teaching document, The Gift of Scripture, in which the teaching of Dei Verbum and subsequent Church documents is explained. What the Catholic Church has to say about the Holy Scriptures builds on ancient insights as well as utilising modern understandings. This document is offered to Catholics, to other Christians, and to all who value the 'gift of Scripture', so that we may be more richly nourished at 'the table of God's word'. http://www.catholic-ew.org.uk/nav/giftofscripture.htm
