Description
In the second of this year's Hein Fry lectures I was asked to consider what the state of the Bible in the twenty-first century might mean for the Lutheran Church--a mighty challenge for a Roman Catholic to say the least! I will try my best, but what I am going to say does not pretend to be wisdom doled out by a sage Roman Catholic to docile and uninstructed Lutheran brothers and sisters. Rather, allow me to wrestle for a bit with a reality that I think both of our communities face and for which the wisdom of the biblical witness has something to say. Shortly after the close of the Second Vatican Council, one of its preeminent theological advisors, Karl Rahner, delivered a commencement address at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Boston that was later published in the journal Theological Studies. (1) He titled it "Towards a Fundamental Theological Interpretation of Vatican II." Rahner was attempting to probe beneath the surface issues that dominated the Council--liturgy, ecclesiology, biblical renewal, and so on--to discover if there were an underlying theological current giving impetus to all the rest. He believed he discovered that underlying dynamic in the movement of the church to authentic universality.
