Divine Revelation

Divine Revelation: The Bible According to Vatican II is Henri de Lubac's commentary on Dei Verbum, the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation. More than a line-by-line study, it is a moving treatise on what revelation is and what it means to believe.

Steeped in Scripture and the Church Fathers, de Lubac returns again and again to the heart of the matter: in revelation God does not simply hand us information, He gives Himself, and faith is our grateful acceptance of that astonishing gift. His pages burn with love for Jesus Christ and remain remarkably fresh for readers today.

One of the great theologians of the twentieth century and a friend of Joseph Ratzinger, de Lubac offers here an essential guide to reading the Bible with the mind of the Church.
