Of Gods and Men: Scripture in Community, Tradition, Liturgy - Catholic (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
In Of Gods and Men, the Trappist monks chant Scripture daily—the Psalms, the lectionary readings, the liturgical texts. Catholic theology holds Scripture as God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16) and reads it within the Church's living Tradition. Dei Verbum teaches that Scripture and Tradition "flow from the same divine wellspring." The monks' Scripture was never isolated; it was prayed liturgically, interpreted traditionally, lived communally. Scripture equips for every good work—including the martyrdom the monks eventually faced. God's Word, received in community, formed saints.
