The Experience of Teaching Biblical Disciplines to Candidates for Ministerial Priesthood
Mato Zovkić
; Faculty of Theology in Sarajevo
Abstract
The author was an inmate and student at the Theological Seminary in Đakovo from October 1955 to February 1964 with a two-year break to do his military service. Here he presents his experience in the studies of the Holy Script in Đakovo, Zagreb and in Rome at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. He has most pleasant memories of Professor R. Schütz from Đakovo, B. Duda from Zagreb and of professors C. Martini and Alonso-Schökel from Rome. From October, 1972 he has been teaching biblical disciplines at the Faculty of Theology in Sarajevo. In his article he describes the experience of the professor of the priest candidates and the professor mentor for his students’ seminar and graduate theses. He sees his mission as a responsibility to introduce his students into the Faith of the Church through the Word of God, as well as to introduce them into scientific studies of the Bible - the Word of God in the words written by men.
In his teaching and his liturgical services he draws attention to the historical dimension of certain books and chapters and puts a tremendous effort into actualisation and inculturation.
