"We all have to answer the basic question of whether we believe this book to be God’s work or not. Do Catholics make an act of faith by which we recognize that God wants to communicate with human beings, that he has already communicated with us through a concrete salvation history, and that the Bible is the Word of God rather than just a book like any other? Does the Bible make some demand on my mind and will to recognize this history of revelation and to make a commitment to what God has revealed? Am I willing to go that far?"
