Dei Verbum Synthesis

The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation or commonly known as Dei Verbum


entails such important liturgical concepts within the Roman Catholic Church. The ultimate
purpose of Dei Verbum is to help us in finding and searching of truth to strengthen our
Christian faith. It has five parts: divine revelation itself; the transmission of divine
revelation through the faith of believers and the custody of the church; Sacred Scripture
as God's inspired word to be interpreted under the Church's guidance; the Old Testament
as fulfilled in and also shedding light on the New Testament as the completion of God's
self-disclosure and the importance of Sacred Scripture in the life of the Church. God wants
us to know His love for us. Revelation is not just words about God; it is a living experience
of God. As revelation unfolds; we become more aware of how God is ultimately over all
things and God is complete in Himself. The Word is the gift of faith, freely given by God,
and faith develops through the Holy Spirit. Development of faith happens when we study,
contemplate and put belief into action. This is why sacred Scripture and Church Tradition
are closely connected and validly important to the growth of one’s faith. Scripture is the
Word of God – The Old Testament and the New Testament. Sacred Tradition is the Word
of God passed on to us in various forms: Liturgy, prayers, and the teachings of the
Apostles and their successors. We all make up the Church and we all have a role to play
in communicating God’s Word. Those chosen wrote down words inspired by the Holy
Spirit. The Spirit revealed what God desired to be written. Interpretation of Scripture
comes from the Holy Spirit, too. It requires insight into historical analysis, literary analysis,
understanding tradition, human sciences, and. The Bible is a text inspired by God which
is entrusted to the Church for the nurturing of faith and guiding one’s life. The Old
Testament remains significant because it communicates how God remained active in the
history of mankind and because it reveals the plan of God to provide Jesus. In the New
Testament salvation is completely released, Christ brings order to the world by
establishing the reign of God on earth. Jesus reveals the Father and completes God’s
plan. . The Word of God supports the Church and strengthens it. We must come to know
Scripture more and more, for through Scripture we meet Christ. The Word of God is truth
that lasts forever. Everyone is to have access to the Word of God, the Gospel would have
no relevance and we would have no business centering ourselves around the Bible if it
were not God’s Word.
