Pathways in Scripture: A Book-by-Book Guide to the Spiritual Riches of the Bible

Fr. Damasus’s way of writing about the Scriptures is nothing else than the traditional monastic way of “meditation”: . . . careful study of the literal sense, the discovery therein of a content hidden because spiritual, and the desire of accomplishing it. . . . Throughout this book one will find this way of reading the Bible in the light of the fathers in the liturgy, without neglecting history and all that provides a solid basis for an objective spiritual interpretation. Fr. Damasus Winzen, O.S.B. (1901–1971), was a German biblical scholar and Benedictine monk. In 1951 he founded Mount Savior Monastery near Elmira, New York. PAPERBACK/352 PAGES
