Luke Timothy Johnson and William Kurz are Roman Catholic New
Testament scholars who think that the apparent good health of
biblical scholarship in America is deceptive. Despite its huge
production of learning, Catholic scholarship has lost some of its
soul because of its distance from the life and concerns of living
faith communities. In this volume the authors open a conversation
with others in the church concerning a future Catholic biblical
scholarship that maintains the freedom of critical inquiry but
within a living loyalty to tradition.
Looking not to criticize but to strengthen, the authors model
the type of dialogue that is needed today. Johnson first reviews
the current state of Catholic biblical scholarship and then points
out important lessons from throughout the tradition of
interpretation. He calls for imagining the world that Scripture
imagines as the presupposition for the organic use of the Bible in
theology. Kurz responds to Johnson's chapters and then offers his
own approach to biblical interpretation, showing how literary
analysis of the Gospel of John can be brought into conversation
with the Nicene Creed, with recent debates in ethics, and with the
practices of the church. After Johnson responds to Kurz, the
authors jointly conclude by addressing a series of questions
concerning hard issues now facing Catholic biblical
scholarship.
