Development of Scriptures 1.Actual Event 2.Oral Tradition 3.Written Pieces 4.Edited Books 5.Canonical Status

God’s Role in the Process Long, messy process Lots of human factors “God breathed life into [it]” Bible = divine and human origins God’s inspiration is not a single thunderous moment, but rather a gentle force present for centuries

Catholics and Inspired by God Bible gives us religious truth about God, not science or history Religious truth requires understanding what the author intended to communicate Don’t be caught up in details! Not every word in the Bible is factually correct God inspired/guided scriptural process ‘Form fit for humans’, not ‘one size fits all’ because of the role God had in inspiring scriptures C8

Announcement We will cover biblical interpretation tomorrow If you already read C6-C8 and did the corresponding journal reflection, then NO HOMEWORK TONIGHT If not, make sure you have that ready to go for class tomorrow If you have not submitted your Freshman Service Project reflection from the 1 st semester, please do so by class TOMORROW.
