Um, so what was the, what was the approach to scripture that was introduced to, um, Robert Prepost in his time at CTU, and how was, how did Vatican II, um, inform that scholarship?

Uh, well, V- Vatican II certainly did inform.

I mean, uh, the, the, the document of the Vatican II Council of, of approach to scripture.

At that time in, in, in Christian history, or in scholarly history, uh, the primary focus of biblical study was the historical critical method, that, uh, it was not, uh, it was not ideological so much.

It was, as it was historical.

So you had to learn about, you know, uh, the Gospel of John.

In the Gospel of John, what voice are you hearing in the, in the gospel? Is it Je- the, the, the voice of the historical Jesus? Is it the voice of the author of the Gospel of John, who is putting words into Jesus' mouth? Maybe not the exact words, but this is the way, given how we understand Jesus, this is probably the way he talk, he talked.

Is that, is that correct? Or was this viewed with skepticism prior to the Second Vatican Council?
