Biblical Studies
Pontifical
Biblical Commission Responses
We have begun to post the early
texts from the Pontifical Biblical Commission
(PBC); these statements are difficult to find on
the Internet. With a few minor stylistic changes,
the responses will mirror the English translation
found in the 1964 compendium, Rome and the
Study of Scripture. For the sake of
comparison, sources for the Latin and English
texts will be included with each response. The
Latin sources are Acta Sanctae Sedis (ASS);
Acta Apostolicae Sedis (AAS);
Denzinger/Schönmetzer's Enchiridion
Symbolorum (DS); and Enchiridion Biblicum
(EB). The English sources are Denzinger's The
Sources of Catholic Dogma (D); Rome and
the Study of Scripture (RSS); Official
Catholic Teachings: Bible Interpretation
(OCTBI); and The Scripture Documents
(TSD).
