WhoWrotetheBible? AndWhen?

"InaSmokeScreen,"Leichhardt,New SouthWales.

WhowrotetheBible?

TheBibleisnotonebook.Itisa collectionofseventy-twobooks,containingthewrittenRevelationofGod toman. TheseinspiredBookswerewritten byvariousmenunderDivineInspiration.Thesemen,however,werenot, inthestrictsense,theauthorsofthe BooksoftheBible.TherealAuthor ofalltheBookswasGod.Thehuman writersweresimplyinstrumentschosenbyGodtosetdowninwritingall thatHewishedthemtowrite.

ThatiswhatInspirationmeans:By Hissupernaturalpower,God"somovedandimpelledthemtowrite-He wassopresenttothem-thatthe thingswhichHeordered,andthose only,theyfirstrightlyunderstood, thenwitle4faithfullytowritedown, andfinallyexpressedinaptwordsand withinfallibletruth."GodisthereforetherealAuthorofthewholeof SacredScripture.Thehumanwriters wereIIisinstruments.Thus,forin stance,theAuthoroftheFourGospelswasGod.Thehumanwriters wereSaintsMatthew,Mark,Lukeand John.

Itisonlyfromtheteachingofthe infallibleChurchfoundedbyChrist thatweknowwithcertainty(a)what inspirationmeans;(b)whatBooks areinspired.

WhenwastheBiblewritten?

TheBookswhichcomposetheBille werewrittenoveraperiodofsome 1,500years.

ThefirstfiveBooksoftheBible '(Genesis,Exodus,Leviticus,Numbers andDeuteronomyIwerewrittenabout 1,500yearsB.C.TheBookplaced lastintheBible,namely,theApocalypse,orRevelations,ofSt.John,was writtentowardsthecloseoftheFirst CenturyA.D.

THEPRINTEDBIBLE.

WhoprintedtheBible,andwhen?

ThewholeoftheBiblewaswritten welloverathousandyearsbefore printingwasinvented.Duringthat timetheBiblewhollyand/orinpart wastranslatedintoallthetonguesof thecivilisedworldasthenknown. ThesetranslationsarecalledVersions. Thus,forinstance,theVulgateVersionisatranslationoftheBiblefrom theoriginalGreekorHebrew.Itwas madebySt.Jeromebetween390and 405A.D.

Naturallyenough,theBiblewasone ofthefirstworkstobeproduced whentheartofprintingwasinvented intheXIVtb.Century.Thefirst completeBibieitoappearinprintwas theeditionoftheVulgate,which'as printedbyGutenbergin1456.

ThefirstCatholiceditionofthecompleteBibleintheFrenchtonguewas publishedinParisbyJeandePely, confessortoCharlesVIII.,'n1487.Up to1545,ithadgonethoughtwelve editions.

InGermany,fivecompletefolioeditionsoftheBibleintheGermantongue,andtranslatedfromtheVulgate, wereprintedpriorto1477;andnine furthereditionsappearedbetween1477 and1522.Luther'stranslationofthe NewTestamentappearedin1522. * * *

THEBIBLEINENGLAND.

InEngland,portionsoftheBible hadbeentranslatedasfarbackasthe VIIIth.Century.

ButnopartoftheEnglishBiblewas printedbefore1525,nocompleteBible before1535,andnoneprintedinEnglanditselfbefore1538.

WilliamTyndale,anex-Franciscan priest,wasthefirsttoavailhimself oftheartofprinting.In1524,he wenttoGermanytovisitLuther,and thereprintedtheNewTestamentin English(1525-26).MilesCoverdale, alsoanex-priest,publishedthecompleteBiblein1535.

OtherProtestanteditionsofthe BiblewereTheGreatBibleof1539, theGenevanBibleof1560,theHishops'Bibleof1568,andtheAuthorised orKingJamesVersionof1611,which istheVersionmostcommonlyusedby EnglishProtestantsatthepresent time.

ThefirstCatholiceditionofthe BiblewastheRheims-DouayVersion, 1582-1610.

(Forfurtherinformationonthis subject,letmereferyoutotheCatholicEncyclopaedia,particularlythearticles:"Bible"and"Versions.")

WasittheProtestantswhowrotethe Bible,and,ifso,whatdenominationdidtheybelongto?

ThelastBookoftheBiblewascompletedsome1,500yearsbeforeProtestantismwasheardof.

ST.PETERANDTHEBIBLE.

WhenChristsaidtoPeter,"Uponthis rockIwillbuildmyChurch,"and soforth,didPeterhavetheBibleto guidehim?

TheOldTestamentScriptureswere completedbeforethecomingofChrist. ButnotaBookoftheNewTestament waswrittenuntilsometwentyyears aftertheAscensionofChrist.

ThewordsofOurLordwhichyou quotearerecordedintheGospelofSt. Matthew,XVI.,18.ThisGospelwas writteninHebrewabouttheyear50 A.D.,andinGreeksomeyearslater.

ButSt.Peterneedednomorethan thewordofChrist,whoclaimedtobe, andprovedthatIlewas,Godaswell asman.

* * * * RELIGIONWITHOUTTHEBIBLE.

IftherewerenoBiblewrittenorprinted,wouldtherebeanyreligiontoday?

Inanswertothatquestionthereare severalthingstobeobserved:-

1ThedutyofreligionisindependentoftheChurch,independentofthe Bible,indenendentofChristianity.

Itisastrictdutyofjusticewhich followsimmediatelyfromthefactthat wearetherationalcreaturesofGod, ourCreator,Lord,BenefactorandProvider,uponWhomweareabsolutely andinescapablydependent.Weowe Himtherecognitionandhomagewhich areHisclueasourMakerandRuler, thegratitudewhichisHisdueasour supremeBenefactor.ToHimwemust goforallweneedforbodyandsoul: AndtoHimweoweexpiationandsatisfaction,forwehaveoffendedHisinfinitemajestybysin.

Hence,eveniftherewerenoChurch andnoBibleandnoChristianity,religionwouldstillbeaduty,andthere wouldbefoundmentofulfilthatduty. Manisincurablyreligiousbecausehe isincurablyrational.

ch,GodhasnotleftusfreetoworshipHimaswethinkfit.Hehas givenarevelationtotheworld,and therebymadeknowntoushowHe wishestobeworshipped.

GodrevealedHimselftomankindin thefirstbeginningofthehumanrace.

TracesofthisprimitiveRevelation arepreservedto-dayinalltheearly primitivereligions.

InthedesignsofGod,thisRevelationwaspreservedintactbytheJewishpeopleandgraduallyincreasedin richnessandclaritybythelonglineof prophetswhospokeinthenameof GodandbyHiscommand.

God'sRevelationtomankindreacheditsfullnessinJesusChrist;the eternalSonofGodmademanifestto usinhumanflesh.Aswereadin theEpistletotheHebrews:

"God,whoatsundrytimesandin diversmanners,spokeintimespastto ourforefathersbytheprophets,lastof all,inthosedays,hathspokentous byHisSon,whomHehathappointed Heirofallthings,bywhomalsoHe madetheworld."(I.,1.2.)

Churchwhichgoesbackinunbroken linetothetimeofChrist.Thereis onlyoneChurchwhichpossessesthe marksordistinguishingcharacteristics withwhichChristendowedHisChurch.

ThatChurchistheCatholicChurch.

TheRevelationgiventousbyChrist OurLordincludesallthatGodhad previouslymadeknowntoman,and

containsnumeroustruthswhichwere notpreviouslyrevealed.

Thereligionliefoundedistherefore theonlyreligionpleasingtoGod. Hence,thoughtherearereligionsindependentofChristianity,theyarenot truereligions.Theycontainelements oftruth,twistedanddistortedbyseriouserrors;buttheylackthefullness oftruthwhichisfoundsolelyinthe religionfoundedbyChrist.

TherearemanyProtestantswho claimthattheBibleistheonlyrule offaithor,inotherwords,thatit containsthefullteachingofChrist andthatnoexternalauthoritative guideisneededtointerpretit. Thisview,however,hasnofoundationinScripture;itishistoricallyunsoundandunworkableinpractice.

MuchthatOurLorddidandtaught wasnotwritten.SeeJohnXX.,30; XXI.,25.

Again,OurLordtoldHisApostles theHolySpiritwouldbringtotheir mindsallthatHehadtaught.But thetextsjustreferredtoshowthat muchofwhatHetaughtwasnever written.SeeJohn,XIV.,26.

JesusspentfortydaysafterHisResurrectioninstructingHisdisciples (Acts1,3).Yetthewholeofthis mostvaluableperiodissummedupby theEvangelistsinafewverses.It wouldbemostunreasonabletosupposethatallthisteachingconcerning theKingdomofGodhasbeenlostto theChurch.

(3)ThetheorythattheBiblealone istheonlyruleoffaithisimpracticable,andhasledinfacttolamentable results.

Inadditiontothepointsjustconsidered,itmustbeobservedthatthe Biblecontainsmuchthatisobscure anddifficult.Itisnotself-explanatory.Itneedsanauthoritativeexponent.(SeeActsVIII,,30-31;I.Pet., ill.,15-16.)

Finally,asadirectresultofthe theorythattheBiblealoneistherule offaith,hundredsofcontradictory sectshavearisen,allappealingtothe Biblefortheirinspiration.

TheCatholicChurchhonoursthe BibleastheinspiredwordofGod,and defendsitagainstallattacks.Butshe refusestogiveitapositionwhichGod didnotmeanittohave.

TheCatholicChurchwhichgaveus theBibleistheonlyinstitutionauthorisedbyGodtointerprettheBible.

Now,theCatholicChurchteachesthat theRevelationgiventousbyChristis containedinSacredScripturesandTraditon.

ByTraditionismeantthebodyof truthsrevealedbyChristtoHisApostles,orrevealedtothemafterHisAscensionbytheHolySpirit,notcontainedinScripture,butpreservedand taughttoeachsucceedinggeneration bytheliving,teachingauthorityofthe Church.

CatholicSocialTeachingand Fascism

GOODmanywritershavemisinterpreted,honestlyordishonestly,thecentralideaofCatholic socialteaching.Forthatcentralidea isthatpeoplehavetoactforthegen- eralgood,aswellasfortheirown needs,andthattodosoineconomic lifetheyhavetoorganisebywholeindustries,andfederate,andgetGovern. mentalhelp.Theyhavetogive everybodyalivingwage;theyhaveto guideincomesandpricessoastoend unemployment;theyhavetostart makingarrangementsforlabourto shareinmanagement,profitsandownership;theyhavetomakepeople's workgoodforthem.

"Wearesurroundedbypaganat- titudes-hatred,divorce,graft,business,pleasure,materialvalues,birth control,dishonesty."
