On the contrary, as the life and works of both saints makes evident, it is not only possible but also necessary to speak of God; even if one cannot say what God is, he can proclaim \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e He is and \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e He has revealed Himself to man. The question, as Jean Daniélou identifies it, is one of language. How can and should one put these truths into words, to express them in such a way that the path from man to God is illuminated? \u003ci\u003eMyth and Mystery \u003c\/i\u003eventures to answer this question by examining both “myth,” all the representations through which men have tried to express their knowledge of God, and “mystery,” the revelation which God has made of Himself in the Old and New Testaments.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDeveloped from a series of lectures for young people and later published in Henri Daniel-Rops’ \u003ci\u003eTwentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMyth and Mystery \u003c\/i\u003esifts through mankind’s various encounters with and expressions of God through the ages, to arrive at and affirm the fullness of truth: Christ Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eMany have been at pains to set forth the history of what time has brought to fulfilment among us… \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(The Gospel of Luke)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e* * *\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Daniélou, S.J. \u003c\/b\u003e(1905–1974) was one of the leading theologians of the twentieth century.
