Since its origins, the Catholic Church has accepted both scripture and tradition as authorities for church teaching on God, Christ and salvation and has held that scripture is susceptible to interpretation. This text explores the susceptibility of tradition to a variety of interpretive meanings. As a practical example of a narrative-ecclesial hermeneutic, this work promises a new way of doing theology, traditionally. Senses of Tradition both continues and develops the Catholic faith: it identifies a spiritual problem for the church and utilizes the Spirit formed resources of the church to resolve the problem. This is both a theological challenge and a promising practical-ecclesial development.
