     Biblical Exegesis in Progress, the title of this volume celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Biblicum, was chosen for one main reason that has to do with the word “progress”. We would like to show how much exegesis has changed in our Institute since its foundation on the 7th of May, 1909.
     The first purpose of the Pontifical Biblical Institute was, in the mind of its founders, to defend Christian faith against the attacks of rationalist exegesis. The atmosphere was that of a citadel beleaguered on all sides by enemies who wanted to undermine the biblical foundation of faith and religion. But some of the sentinels very soon discovered that not all alleged “enemies” were real enemies. Many were, by and large, persons of good will sincerely trying to understand better the so-called “Great Code” of our culture (Northrop Frye).
     The encyclical Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943) certainly allowed people to let down drawbridges, and to open some doors and some windows. But the major change occurred with the Second Vatican Council and the discussions that surrounded the redaction of what was to be the constitution Dei Verbum. A couple of years later, in 1968, the Congress of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament (IOSOT) was held in Rome, and this is one of the many signs that the old citadel had been transformed into a place of lively dialogue and fruitful exchange. The professors at the Biblicum had realized that truth is not a bastion to be defended, but rather a country to be explored and discovered anew every day. The articles collected in this volume testify, each in its own way, with a great variety of methods and approaches, to the progress made by our Institute in biblical research and to some of the radical changes that had occurred between 1909 and 2009.

 

En publiant un recueil d’essais à l’occasion du centenaire de l’Institut Biblique, les professeurs de la faculté biblique ont voulu faire le point sur l’évolution de l’exégèse biblique durant cette période et rappeler comment notre Institut s’est progressivement situé au sein de la recherche actuelle et comment il essaie de la promouvoir.

 

Presentando una rassegna di saggi in occasione del centenario dell’Istituto Biblico, i professori della facoltà biblica vogliono fare il punto sull’evoluzione dell’esegesi biblica durante questo periodo e ricordare come il nostro Istituto si è progressivamente inserito nella ricerca attuale e come si sforza di promuoverla.

 

In offering a set of essays on the occasion of the centenary of the Biblical Institute, the professors of the Biblical faculty want to take stock of the progress of biblical exegesis during that period and examine how step by step our Institute has kept pace with the research and now tries to encourage it.
