This is the text of twenty-four lectures delivered by Père Bouyer at the University of Notre Dame. He presents the reader with a biblical theology which is theological without being over-technical, and spiritual without being fanciful. This is the result of his conviction that the Word of God has a unique and objective spiritual value of its own, which must be found in a scrupulously scientific examination of the literal meaning, and shown in its development to have a reference to Christ in whom it finds its fulfillment.
"In a series of popular essays on biblical theology Père Bouyer traces the plan of salvation through the Old Testament to it's execution in the New Testament. The style and character of the essays is largely determined by the fact that they were delivered as a series of lectures at the University of Notre Dame." —Theological Studies
