‘With this new journal we hope to foster a deeper conversation about the Bible—what it is and where it comes from; how we should read it; and what claim it should make on our lives, on the teaching and practice of the Church, and on the world we live in . . . .We welcome you to join us in the conversation.’
— Inaugural Editorial, Letter & Spirit 1 (2005)

The launch and inaugural issue of Letter & Spirit were made possible through a generous grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute.
