The interpretation of certain key texts in the Bible by two
Dominican Friars: the celebrated preacher and author Timothy
Radcliffe and the Director of the Biblical Institute in Jerusalem
Lukasz Popko. When the Lord first spoke to Samuel in the Old
Testament, he did not understand. So it is in the modern secular
world that we too have muffled our ears. How are we, like Samuel,
to hear God speaking to us in the words of hope and joy in a way
that will make our ears tingle? As the Psalmist says, we have 'ears
and hear not'. Some people dismiss such sentiments in the Bible as
products of long-dead cultures that have nothing to do with us. As
with other religions, which have sacred texts, many hear them as
celestial commandments demanding unthinking submission. But God
does not address us through a celestial megaphone. Revelation is
God's conversation with his people through which they may become
the friends of God. The novelty of Biblical revelation consists in
the fact that God becomes known to us through the dialogue which he
desires to have with us. How can we learn to listen to our God and
join Him in the conversation?
