This text is a critical review from the Biblicist’s perspective of the document “In the beginning there was the Word” The Bible in the Life of the Lutheran Communion by the Lutheran Communion. We should be glad that the Lutheran Communion issued such a compendium of Lutheran hermeneutics and interpretation of the Bible. Probably for some it is too general, too “politically correct” or too inclusive. A Biblicist observes some methodological deficits, although he may be satisfied with the repeated postulate of constant Bible translation and taking into account liturgical, philological, exegetic and ministerial objectives in the translation. The document also proposes a widely understood Biblical education.
