Wisdom from Jeremy Holmes

 
 
 

First Jesus came in humility as the suffering servant, unrecognized by the rulers of his day, but this coming was itself a preparation for his future coming as the conqueror and judge visible to all the world.

—Jeremy Holmes

from his book, Cur Deus Verba

WHY THE BIBLE?

Cur Deus Verba unfolds a systematic theology of Scripture from a single key question: What did God seek to accomplish by making the Bible? The answer requires seeing why the Holy Trinity made anything at all, why the Word became flesh, and finally why the Church needs an inspired text. As Christ is more fully “man” than any mere man, so his Church is more fully “society” than any merely human society. And as every society has its literary tradition, so the Church needed a canon of literature that would be more fully “book” than any merely human book.
