School of the Annunciation
The Course begins with a chapter on the Word of God (Christ himself) and the word of God (Scriptures) following the text of the encyclical Verbum Domini by Benedict XVI. It follows with an introduction to the Sources of the Faith as Scripture and Tradition and then provides an opportunity to follow a brief overview of the historical nature and formation of the whole of the Sacred Scriptures as an account of salvation history. This is followed by appreciating the Scriptures as a single book, a unity of faith and the three Spiritual senses of Scripture rooted in Christ the one Word of God. The relationship between the Old and the New Testament typology is explained and the Jewish and Protestant rejection of certain books and passages of books. Inspiration and inerrancy are studied and the Dogmatic constitution Dei verbum followed in detail.
