The Paschal Mystery in the Theology of Jean Danielou

Jean Danielou's theology offers the opportunity to delve into the paschal mystery through the universality that is characteristic of the mysteries of Christ's life. Danielou is close to the johannine view and to the mysteric aspects of Eastern theology and he presents the victory of the cross in its cosmic dimensions. This universalist approach to the mystery of Easter is also found in the glorified humanity of Christ, who is seated at the right hand of the Father. The author puts together both the prophetic and the priestly offices of Jesus Christ, at the service of a living and still current theology.
