(Part One here, Part Two here)
God's revelation of the truth about himself is available for us in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Christians must trust these sources above our personal opinions and ideas. God speaks to us, 'not to impart information, but to invite us to share his life and to elicit a response to his invitation'.
Saint Jerome, c. 342–347 – 420, the patron saint of biblical scholars:
'Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ'
