Abstract/Sommario: Patrick Mullins of the Milltown Institute in Dublin re-visits the Second Vatican Council's foundational "Dogmatic Consitution on Divine Revelation" (Dei Verbum, 1965), placing it in the context of a parallel discussion on "Scripture and Tradition" in the run-up to the Conference on Faith and Order in Montreal in 1963, and highlighting the contribution of Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Bendict 16., to the elaboration of the document and its subsequent interpretation
