Intro: What is The Spirit and the Bride?

Back to Podcasts

Apr 09, 2024

Dr. Alan Schreck, professor emeritus of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville, introduces himself and his podcast series, The Spirit and the Bride. This title, taken from Revelation 22:17, refers to both the Holy Spirit—a “spring of water welling up to eternal life” (Jn 4:14)—and the Bride of Christ, which is the Church (Eph 5:21-32). Dr. Schreck introduces the podcast’s first series on the Second Vatican Council and how, under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, it addressed the nature of the Catholic Church and its mission in the world today.
