The journal "Verbum Vitae" is a biblical-theological quarterly. The first and third fascicles of each issue include scholarly articles dedicated to a specific theological theme, exploring its multiple connections and implications (dogmatic, moral, pastoral, liturgical, or sociological). The second and fourth fascicles consist of various theological articles, published in English, not dealing with the main topic. Due to its interdisciplinary character, it seeks to include biblical scholars and theologians of various specializations.
