The Bible and the Gospel: The Meaning of Scripture—From the God Who Speaks to the God Made Man

The Bible and the Gospel expresses the unified nature of God’s revelation to mankind within the the continuity of the history of Israel and the life of the Church. Eschewing both sterile historicism and gratuitous allegory, Bouyer provides an illuminating initiation to reading of the Old and the New Testaments. For this new edition, Michael Heintz has revised the original English translation, added the previously untranslated Preface, written numerous editorial annotations, and contributed an Introduction that illuminates Bouyer and his theological vision.To paraphrase St. Jerome, “Knowledge of Scripture is knowledge of Christ.” With Bouyer as their trustworthy guide, readers can become rich in that knowledge. Equally erudite and accessible, The Bible and the Gospel is the perfect gift for students and scholars, preachers and parishioners, and anyone who seeks to know and love the Word of God.
