Reading for Lent and for our next study circle: Aldana on the Scriptures

For the next Kansas City study circle, we will read Ricardo Aldana's article from the Fall 2010 issue:

Ricardo Aldana, The Triune God as the Unity of the Scriptures

Communio 37, no. 3 (Fall 2010). (pdf)

The article poses the question, If Scripture is the Word of God, who is the recipient or "hearer" who can receive this word adequately? Jesus came as fulfillment of the Scriptures and received them perfectly. But if the Scriptures are a loving conversation between the Father and the Son, where does humanity fit in? Aldana gives a fascinating account of how humanity enters into the dialogue of the Scriptures.
