The aims of the article Matthias Joseph Scheeben and Christ’s Magisterial Office in His Major Writings are to present briefly the great German theologian of the nineteenth century M. J. Scheeben, to introduce the Christological titles treated in his main writings and especially to deal with Christ’s prophetic and magisterial office in light of the today’s Christological and Soteriological reflections. When considering the strengths and shortcomings of Scheeben’s work, we bear in mind the historical context of systematic theology of the nineteenth century. We appreciate that the author finds mutual connections between the three offices of Christ and their continuity with the Old‑ Testament messianic offices. Scheeben is exceptionally creative in finding new connections within the Old‑ Testament texts. With regard to the prophetic‑ magisterial office as described by the German theologian, we find an interesting, original name for Christ – Christ the Apostle, the Sent‑ One. We consider his tendency to integrate the mystery of the Trinity into Christology and Soteriology and to make it relevant to Christian life as his greatest contribution. Revelation is not merely a theoretical doctrine, it offers us a sharing in the inner life of the Trinity. The shortcomings of Scheeben’s theology are connected with the theology of his time. In general, the author treated the question of Jesus in more of an a‑ historic and distinctively ontological way. He emphasized Christ’s divine dignity and identity more than his human existence, his growth, his learning and the evolving story.

The study follows up on the previous article about the Christological titles and Christ’s magisterial office treated in the main writings of the German theologian. The aim of this study is to put Christ’s priestly office into the context of Scheeben’s soteriological reflection, to present the main characteristics of the office, to draw attention to the sacrifice on the Cross as the central function of Christ’s priesthood and, finally, point out the Trinitarian foundation of Jesus’s sacrifice. Christ’s high‑ priesthood, with its climax in the sacrifice of the Cross, can be rightly considered as crucial to understanding Scheeben’s rich and, for his time, innovative soteriology in which the main mysteries of faith are connected. In Jesus’s sacrifice on the Cross, salvation as deification culminates. Therefore, the Cross is not only a propitiatory but also a deifying, glorifying and eucharistic sacrifice. Here, the author’s own sacrificial theory is made evident. The few shortcomings of Scheeben’s reflection have to be understood in the context of his time. The theologian emphasises the hierarchical aspect of Christ’s priesthood and does not explore the thought that Jesus’s life is also a realisation of his self‑ giving to others in his obedience to the Father. Christ’s sacrifice has its archetype in the life of the Trinity and is an invitation for a Christian to partake in divine relationships. Scheeben underlines the presence of the Holy Spirit both in Christ’s sacrifice and in the living out of this mystery on the Christian life.
