Jean-baptiste, témoin de l'agneau
Danielou Jean - Collection Bibliothèque du Cerf
Résumé
--
Jean Daniélou had great love for John the Baptist. The bulk of his work, whether scientific, spiritual or pastoral, refers to this 'last of the prophets' - or rather to his epoch, for this intermediate historical period - a decisive moment between the two Testaments - was a source of endless fascination for Daniélou the researcher as much as Daniélou the pastor. The lengthy account of John the Baptist's life in the Gospels is proof of his key role in presenting the Christian religion. From the Visitation to the Theophany of the Baptism of Christ, the fulfilment of the Scriptures becomes increasingly imminent. John the Baptist, in his vocation, his teachings, his humility and even his decapitation, illustrates the advent of salvation. In the light of the Scriptures, and commentaries provided by the Early Fathers, Cardinal Daniélou tirelessly scrutinized the theologal meaning of all these events in their reality. This book is, to a great extent, the fruit of a retreat preached by Jean Daniélou at the Cercle Saint-Jean-Baptiste, a spiritual and cultural missionary group he served as chaplain and guide for thirty years. The very name of this secular circle makes direct reference to the prophet and herald of the Gospels, and proclaims its specifically contemplative and missionary character. The Precursor's 'Here is the Lamb of God', depicted in Byzantine iconography, sums up the organisation's missionary approach. As Cardinal Daniélou often confided, 'This is why his testimony is so precious to us.'
