Document Summary
Cardinal suenens stated that vatican ii marked the end of three eras; Two of these eras were marked by controversy about scripture. In the era of the reformation, we"ll recall that one of the controversies that emerged was between luther"s sola scriptura against which was opposed the notion of scripture and tradition, or the idea of the magisterium of the church. In the era of vatican i, we will recall there was a challenge opposed to new ways of thinking. In addition to this, there was also a development of historical-critical methods of biblical interpretation. There was a growth in knowledge in the historical background, and historians read this literature from which christians emerged as if it were any other literature. Pentateuch was most often seen as written by moses. Most scholars assert that this is most unlikely to be the case. There was a hypothesis that this was written by four different authors.
