Convergences

Maintains that much of what was accomplished in a hopeful coalescence around the canonical form of Scripture remains relevant for biblical interpretation in our present period. Here, we find a form of "catholicity" that offers hope and promise for our day in spite of cultural, ecclesial, and academic distinctives.

Intr-un eseu despre teologia biblica publicat in 1982, Paul Beauchamp subliniaza o convergenta izbitoare intre un proeminent carturar romano-catolic al perioadei, Roland de Vaux, si principalul teolog protestant al Vechiului Testament al vremii, Gerhard von Rad. Ambii au vazut ca se apropie la orizont de necesitatea unei teologii biblice in care ambele testamente au fost luate in serios ca parte a unei reflexii teologice unice si cuprinzatoare.
