A volume of essays that celebrate and pay tribute to the enormous contribution to scriptural studies that Henry Wansbrough has made over the last 50 years

- Features contributions from a wide range of eminent biblical scholars from around the world, including John Barton, Jimmy Dunn, Mark Goodacre and John Webster
- Highlights the breadth and depth of the role of Scripture within Church and Academy and the role of scripture in and between a number of ecclesial communities
- Considers the role of the translator as interpreter in detail and from fresh perspectives
- Edited by a former student of Henry Wansbrough's.

This edited volume of essays celebrates and pays tribute to the enormous contributions to scriptural studies that Henry Wansbrough O.S.B. has made over the last 50 years, in a number of wide-ranging contexts, but most notably as General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible. The essays offer reflections in three broad moments of the quest to answer what it is the scripture says. They are (1) textual interpretation; (2) translation as interpretation, and (3) interpretation within the ecclesial community. These are three areas of biblical interpretation and reception that Wansbrough has been actively engaged in. The essays are an excellent reflection of the different, yet interdependent paths we tread in answering the question of the title.
