Catholic University of America<\/mark><\/a> and the Theologische Fakult\u00e4t Trier<\/mark><\/a> announced a summer program of interest to graduate students of liturgy – flyer here<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf 3-credit course “Understanding the Bible from the Liturgy” in Trier (in English; see the course description below)
\u25cf Visit to the Archive and Library of the German Liturgical Institute: A glimpse behind the liturgical reform after Vatican II (in reference to the course).
\u25cf Use research opportunities at the theological libraries in Trier, esp. at the Library of the German Liturgical Institute. It is one of the best international libraries for liturgical studies in the world (including sacred art and music; in various languages, esp. German, English, and French; 75,000 volumes and 250 journals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n


\u25cf Discover various liturgical manuscripts from Trier (there will be a practical introduction to working with them).
\u25cf Meet German students (a seminar with doctoral students and social gatherings).
\u25cf In addition, attend optional classes on the Liturgy of the Hours (\u201cPraying the Bible\u201d) and Old Testament and New Testament classes in German.
\u25cf Trier is a World Heritage Site with Roman architecture (the emperor Constantine lived in Trier; early Christian excavations), medieval city center, wonderful churches, and modern atmosphere (Click here for a video about Trier).
\u25cf Enjoy study trips to Cologne, Maria Laach (center of the Liturgical Movement in Germany), Mainz (Gutenberg Bible), and get in touch with German culture and language.
\u25cf In preparation\/clarification: Take part in the international conference \u201cBible, Life, and Worship: The Liturgical and the Biblical Movement in the US and Germany in Comparison\u201d (June 4-7).

Course description: \u201cUnderstanding the Bible from the Liturgy\u201d<\/strong><\/span> (3 credits)
Professors: Dr. Marco Benini (liturgy, Trier; taught 6 semesters at CUA), with some classes by Dr. Stefanos Alexopoulos (liturgy, CUA), Dr. Michael Witczak (liturgy, CUA), Dr. Hans-Georg Gradl (NT, Trier), and Dr. Carolin Neuber (OT, Trier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSacred Scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the liturgy.\u201d (SC 24). The Bible shapes the liturgy like no other book: OT and NT readings are intertextually combined. Psalms are often specifically chosen. Prayers and hymns are biblically permeated. Liturgical actions and symbols (e.g., the washing of feet on Holy Thursday, baptismal rites, etc.) are inspired by sacred Scripture. At the same time, the liturgy interprets sacred Scripture and makes the Bible, a written echo of the revelation, to the living Word of God, whom we encounter in the liturgy. The reception of Scripture (e.g., according to the literary reception theory) is part of the active participation in the liturgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course explores the rich relationships between Bible and liturgy. The first part examines liturgical elements within the OT and NT. The second part discusses the various ways in which liturgy uses Scripture (cf. SC 24). The course finally pays attention to systematic-theological dimensions of the liturgical hermeneutics of Scripture. The whole course promotes an interdisciplinary dialogue of liturgical and biblical studies and considers pastoral implications in the current challenges and opportunities for the Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This active reception, informed by literary and theological interpretation, invites worshippers into a dialogue with the sacred narrative, fostering a deeper spiritual awareness and a lived understanding of God\u2019s revelation. In this way, Scripture functions not only as a source for readings and prayers but also as the underlying rhythm that gives coherence and depth to the entire worship experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reflecting upon the integration of Scripture into the life of the Church, digital tools have increasingly become invaluable for both personal and communal engagement with the Bible. Resources that provide structured access to texts, commentaries, and thematic study aids enhance the ability to explore biblical connections within liturgical contexts. For instance, platforms that organize content through interactive and accessible formats allow for a more focused engagement with Scripture, supporting preparation for prayer, preaching, or theological reflection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among such tools, the use of bible tabs<\/a> exemplifies a practical method for quickly navigating and cross-referencing passages, enabling both scholars and laypersons to trace scriptural threads across readings and meditative practices. By facilitating this kind of organized and reflective interaction with the Bible, these resources extend the liturgical experience beyond the sanctuary, encouraging ongoing immersion in the Word and deepening the encounter with God\u2019s living revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assigned readings for each class are in English (additional ones in German and other languages are optional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the place of the final exam students will submit a research paper on a topic related to the course. An official transcript in German and English will be provided. That will facilitate the transfer of credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
