"The Bible is Catholic" is a series of 4 talks by Dr. Robert Tilley where he shows us some fuendamentales truths in our Catholic faith.
1. The word of God and the Word of God made Flesh
In this first week, The Bible is Catholic considers the relationship between the word of God in the Bible and the Word of God made flesh in Jesus Christ. It explores the inextricable connection between the Bible and the Body of Christ, by reference to the Body of Christ as Temple, the Body of Christ as Eucharist, and the Body of Christ as the Church of which Jesus Christ is the head (Eph 1:18-23; Col 1:15-20).
2. The Bible and the Liturgy
In the first week, we discussed the question of the relationship between the Church and the Bible. Some Christians have come to see the Bible as the fundamental ground of truth for the Church. However, the Bible itself says that the Church is "the pillar and ground of truth" (1 Tim 3:15). Far from the Bible being the ground of the Church then, it is the Church which is the fundamental ground of the Bible. The Church wrote and compiled the Bible, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In the Church the words of God in the Bible are made fully present to us in the 'Word made Flesh'; this is sacramentally present in the Eucharist.
3. Mary the Temple of Scripture
