Bible study, both academic and pastoral, is now a shared interest and responsibility across Christian traditions, though it once divided the Churches. The Vatican II Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei Verbum, gave impetus to a process which began earlier in the twentieth century. Catholic scholars joined their Anglican and Protestant colleagues in exploring the insights made available by discoveries in archaeology and in applying historico- critical tools to the biblical texts. But questions soon arose about such methods of study. Do they respond to the needs of readers? Can they contribute to a more vibrant Christian life? Why is there a clash between how the Bible is discussed in the class-room and the challenge of applying the Bible in daily life? To address such questions, the Dominican Biblical Institute organised a conference on lectio divinia, where a diverse team - including Carlos Mesters, O. Carm, and Bishop Luciano Molincari, nominated by Cardinal Martini - entered into dialogue about these challenges. The papers of the conference, gathered together by an ecumenical team, are available in here in Reading Scripture for Living the Christian Life.
