Sažetak
The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of the Second Vatican Council, Dei Verbum, emphasizes that the Church maintains the Scriptures »together with sacred tradition, as the supreme rule of faith«, and that »the study of the sacred page is, as it were, the soul of sacred theology« (DV, nos. 21, 24), for, as St. Jerome asserted, ignorance of the Scripture is ignorance of Christ. The introductory part of this article presents a panoramic view of the place and role of Sacred Scripture in the life of the Church (status quaestionis) – from its beginnings to Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943) and from Dei Verbum (1965) to the Synod on the Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church (2008). The second chapter discusses the significance of the Bible in the formation of adult believers in our area, highlighting positive developments, as well as deficiencies and problems. Given the almost evident disparity in our area between what the Sacred Scripture should be in the formation of adult believers and what it actually is, the third chapter proposes guidelines for reducing this disparity. It emphasizes the analysis of the biblical apostolate in our area and offers directions for its improvement.
