The Second Vatican Council discussed Divine Revelation, in its own words, “in order that by hearing the message of salvation the whole world may believe, by believing it may hope, and by hoping, it may love.”

In this edition of the Revised Standard Version of the New Testament the message of salvation is presented with beauty of language and clarity of expression. Here is the record for all men of good will to read. In it we find the consummate expression of God presented to us all in Christ Jesus, Our Lord.

In the Sacred Scriptures, “the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks to them; the force and power in the Word of God is so great that it stands as the strength of faith, the food of the soul, the pure and everlasting source of spiritual life.”
