Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the critical analysis of the document of Pontifical Biblical Commission (PBC): Bible and Morality. Biblical Roots of Christian conduct (2008) and specifically the hermeneutical reflection on the “revealed morality”. The nature of consideration on the dokument is especially hermeneutical, beginning with the key concept, namely “revealed morality”. The article is divided into two parts and preceded by a brief contextualization. In Part I is present the analysis of the document, highlighting the most important points for the biblical and moral reflection. In Part II we shall focus on the hermeneutics of the document and the developments that these indications can offer us today, in order to clarify the roles of the two disciplines and thereby contribute to a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue.
