Kevin L. Hughes argues that Jean Daniélou and Henri de Lubac shared a profound commitment to patristic exegesis as a theology of history. Daniélou emphasized typology and the horizontal unfolding of salvation history in events, while de Lubac stressed allegory, interiorization, and the Church’s sacramental mediation of divine action. Their nuanced disagreements reveal complementary visions: Daniélou’s outward, historically engaged approach contrasts with de Lubac’s inward, anagogical focus, together shaping a rich, multifaceted ressourcement understanding of history, Scripture, and discipleship.
