Jean Daniélou

The question this book tries to answer is one of language. How can we speak of God to the men of our day? Between the God who seeks man, and the man who seeks God, the path must be found. Our speech about God must reach the heart of man, his inner experience. In particular, it must reach the heart of the man of our day. This book is the expression of that attempt.

A subtle and penetrating interpretation of the ways by which man comes to the knowledge of God -- each form of knowledge carrying him both higher and deeper. The great merit of this work is its comprehensiveness. If we are to talk about ways of knowing God, we have first of all to talk about the techniques, philosophical, religious, revealed and mystic, of knowing God.

A very powerful book by a man of the Church who by connecting us withthe work of the Early Church Fathers and their use of "typology" connects better with a spiritual understanding of Scripture and ultimately, with Christ Jesus, our Lord.
