The question described: Catholicism affirms that the center and core of Christian faith is not a book, the Bible, but a person: Jesus Christ, the 'Word of God', crucified and risen from the dead, and that both Bible and Tradition bear witness to God's revelation in and through him. In his book "Speaking Christian," Episcopal theologian Marcus Borg, puts it this way:
"...the 'Word of God' as known, revealed, disclosed, and embodied in Jesus is the decisive 'Word of God.' It outranks the Bible. Jesus is the norm of the Bible. When the Bible and what we see in Jesus conflict, as they sometimes do, Jesus trumps the Bible. This is what it means to say that Jesus is the Word become flesh. In him, Christians see more clearly than anywhere else the character and passion of God."
The person of Jesus, then, is central to Christian life and faith and Christianity is more about a person than a book. What do you think?
