This document's purpose is to spell out the Church's understanding of the nature of revelation--the process whereby God communicates with human beings. It touches upon questions about Scripture, tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church. The major concern of the document is to proclaim a Catholic understanding of the Bible as the "word of God." Key elements include: Trinitarian structure, roles of apostles and bishops, and biblical reading in a historical context.

The sixteen official documents—constitutions, decrees, and declarations—of the Second Vatican Council are now available from Liturgical Press in the most popular and widely used inclusive-language edition translated by Irish Dominican Austin Flannery (+October 21, 2008). As the worldwide Church continues to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Council (1962–65), there is a great need in college classrooms and parish faith formation groups—as well as for individuals—to again have access to these documents in contemporary English. As Flannery wrote in his introduction to the 1996 edition, “The translation of the texts of the Vatican documents in the present volume differs from that in the previous publication in two respects. It has been very considerably revised and, in place, corrected. It is also, to a very large extent, in inclusive language. “I say ‘to a very large extent,’ because we have used inclusive language in passages about men and women but not, however, in passages about God, except where the use of the masculine pronoun was easily avoidable.”

Dei Verbum (in Italian the Word of God, often abbreviated as DV) is a dogmatic constitution issued by the Second Vatican Council concerning "Divine Revelation" and Sacred Scripture. It is one of the principal documents of the Second Vatican Council; it would be the foundation, according to the auxiliary bishop of Westminster Christopher Butler, an influential conciliar father. The constitution was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on November 18, 1965, following the approval of the bishops gathered in assembly with 2,344 votes in favor and 6 against. The title is a reference both to the Holy Scriptures (literally, the "Word of God"), and to Jesus Christ himself (the Word of God) and is taken from the incipit of the document, as is customary in the most important official documents of the Catholic church.
