Biblical Commission studying Truth and Inspiration

April 17, 2012: The annual plenary session of the Pontifical Biblical Commission began on Monday with theme of "Inspiration and Truth in the Bible."

It will run through Friday at the "Domus Sanctae Marthae" inside Vatican City under the presidency of Cardinal William Joseph Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
As a first stage in its examination of the subject, the Pontifical Biblical Commission has chosen to focus on the way in which inspiration and truth appear in sacred Scripture. On the basis of their individual competencies, each participant will present a report which will then be discussed by the assembly as a whole. Jesuit Father Klemens Stock, secretary general of the commission, chair the session.
