“The pure and everlasting source of spiritual life”: The Bible in the Carme- lite heart
Papieski Wydział Teologiczny we Wrocławiu
Abstract
In the adhortation Verbum Domini Pope Benedict XVI recalls the writings of the Carmelite theologians who applied to the Holy Scripture the scheme of four biblical “senses” – the literal sense, allegorical, moral and anagogical. To make this insight more profound some examples were chosen in this paper: St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Ávila. In their spiritual meditations the texts of the Old Testament become a key to understanding those coming from the New Testament and the Christian spirituality rediscovers its biblical dimension.
