Key Theological Themes in the Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum [On Divine Revelation] Transcription of a Conversation with Monsignor Paul McPartlan, Echoing Faith Today, a Podcast, December 23, 2022,.

Monsignor Paul McPartlan, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology and Ecumenism at the Catholic University of America in a conversation with Dr. Jem Sullivan explores how Dei Verbum , the dogmatic constitution of Vatican II on divine revelation relates to the three other constitutions issued by the Council and how that document with its focus on who God has revealed is foundational to those other texts. God has revealed the Son, an intensely personal communication of the word that is incarnate and living. The one source of revelation is the person of Jesus. Before there is either Scripture or Tradition, there is the person of Jesus. Scripture exists within a living tradition. McPartlan illustrates the shift in thinking that was underway as the text on revelation was being drafted and the eventual implications it would have for ecumenism by recounting the tumultuous story of this document's evolution.
