“The Roman Catholic Church spent the first third of this century in opposition to a scientific critique of the Bible. It spent the next third accepting biblical criticism. Only now, in the last third of the century, is it really facing the problem of how to live with the impact of biblical criticism.

If through biblical criticism we have a more accurate picture of Jesus and the early Church, what does this mean for the Church and Christians today? How does it affect our approach to religious education? What does it mean for the way we evaluate Jesus? What does it mean for problems that have long divided the churches – the way we think about Mary and the way we think about the Pope? What does it mean for a very current problem: Can women be ordained priests?
