Sixteen years ago John Paul II appealed for a „new feminism” to come (Evangelium vitae, 99). Surprisingly, we may find some help in the realization of this task in the very old Tradition of the Church: in St. Jerome’s epistles and in those who followed his steps in the Middle Ages. Jerome asked his correspondents to read the Bible in such a way as to underline women’s place in the history of salvation. He encouraged to study the Scriptures engaging the whole knowledge of ancient languages and biblical environment. The Christian Middle Ages continued this Tradition in the best of its representatives: such writers as Rabanus Maurus, Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter Damiani were directing thoughts of their hearers to the same way of reading the Bible. With the present analysis we try to introduce the appeal of the pope Benedict XVI from his latest exhortation Verbum Domini: „The most profound interpretation of Scripture comes precisely from those who let themselves be shaped by the word of God” (48).

In the adhortation Verbum Domini Pope Benedict XVI recalls the writings of the Carmelite theologians who applied to the Holy Scripture the scheme of four biblical “senses” – the literal sense, allegorical, moral and anagogical. To make this insight more profound some examples were chosen in this paper: St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Ávila. In their spiritual meditations the texts of the Old Testament become a key to understanding those coming from the New Testament and the Christian spirituality rediscovers its biblical dimension.

Pope Benedict XVI in his Adhortatiom Verbum Domini encourages Catholic theologians to take example from the ancient and medieval authors who applied to the Bible interpretation the notion of four biblical senses: literal, allegorical, moral and anagogical (the latter three form the spiritual sense of the Scriptures). This essay is an effort to read an ancient Christian text and to find therein traces of such a theological method. The text chosen to this purpose is the Methodius of Olimpus’ dialogue Banquet of the Ten Virgins written around 300 CE. Ten virgins pronounce their eulogy to the life consecrated to Jesus Christ, abundantly quoting thereby and interpreting the Bible. We see as all ten Christian virgins described in the Methodius’ work read the biblical texts through the lenses of the Church faith. It is especially significant when the lecture of the Old Testament passages is done in the context of the New Testament fulfillment of the salvation history.
