As a final work to close our brief survey we may choose the new English
version of P?re Jean Dani?lou's classic study S acr amen turn Futuri (Paris 1950):
it is From Shadows to Reality: Studies in the Biblical Typology of the Fathers,
clearly the weakness of Philonian allegory with its use of an almost completely
arbitrary, riddling technique. Philo acts as though the Scriptures were a con
tinuous riddle for which he alone possesses the clue. Dani?lou, however, recog
nizes a legitimate area in which Origen and those who followed his method
of exegesis transformed Philonian allegorism into acceptable 'typology': these
are the three areas of the sacramental (or the life of the Church on earth), the
apostolic kerygma. His conclusion: 'over and above all... deviations, we meet
an agreement of all schools upon the fundamental types. This proves that we
are face to face with something which is part and parcel of the deposit of Reve
now as it was when it first appeared over ten years ago, ten years which have
centrifugal forces which threaten to split the once unified field into many spe
cialist fragments, the last few years have seen an enormous progress in the
collaborative sharing of common problems among scholars of all nations and
religious beliefs. For all the difficulties it entails, this common historical quest
has achieved a certain flexible unity; with the vast outlay of dictionaries,
texts, atlases, monographs, and other accurate instrumenta studiorum over
the last decade it would seem that patristic scholars can be ever more sanguine
for the future.
