The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century tore apart the comp-onents, emphasizing matter over spirit and pushing God far away as a remote cosmic architect. In the first half of the nineteenth century, spirit prevailed once again over matter in Romanticism. This effervescent movement, opposed by a renewed scientific materialism, ended up fragmenting into utopianism, sentimentalism, psychologism, existentialism, and pessimism.

Yet for many decades, the teaching and study of Scripture in academic settings within the Catholic Church has served more to undermine faith than to nourish it. This disastrous situation has arisen through a forgetfulness or rejection of the principles that should guide exegesis. In particular, many renowned scholars whose works have dominated the Catholic landscape sought to erect exegesis into an autonomous discipline, separated from both the teachings of the Church and from speculative theology. To shield themselves from such a secularized exegesis, and in response to the wider assault on orthodoxy within the Church, some Catholics have taken refuge with the magisterium, yet in a way that can obscure the fact that popes and bishops themselves must remain subject to the word of God. In this brief but profound primer, Fr Thomas Crean OP sets forth principles fundamental to all exegesis—in particular, the plenary inspiration and inerrancy of the sacred books—and responds to modern attempts to limit these two properties of Holy Writ. He discusses disputed questions about the nature of inspiration, literary genres, the plurality of senses, and the sufficiency of Scripture, and explains the enduring importance of the Septuagint and the Vulgate. \u003cem\u003eLetters from that City\u003c\/em\u003e will be of use especially to seminarians and other students of theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFr Thomas Crean\u003c\/strong\u003e is an English Dominican.

However, now that religion has been so effectively removed from our society, the impetus for high culture seems to have vanished; arts and letters are uninspired, uninteresting, and undignified, if not parasitical, ugly, banal, and empty.

This condescending love was believed to find its most sublime expression in the Old Testament’s Song of Songs, which sings in strange, earthly tones of the transcendent, pursuing love of YHWH for His beloved and the returning devotion it was to elicit in her. For the Christian reader, this ardour, hymned in sensuous language, evokes no mortal, transient passion but an unconditional divine love fulfilled, historically and sacramentally, in Jesus Christ, the One “in whom the love of God was made manifest” (1 Jn. 4:9). This is a \u003cem\u003elove made flesh\u003c\/em\u003e, encountered in the pierced heart and broken body of the Messiah who “loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Gal. 2:20). With the help of the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and modern authors, Timothy Kelly explores the secret of the nuptial mystery declared in King Solomon’s enigmatic poem and perfected “in the likeness of sinful flesh” (Rom. 8:3)—in the crucified and Eucharistic love of the incarnate Lord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for this book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e“Rarely will you see a book that brings biblical, dogmatic, and mystical theology together so artfully and lucidly as this remarkable and readable synthesis does.
