Note publique d'information : Method in Theology stands with Insight as Bernard Lonergan’s most important work.
It is Lonergan’s answer to those who would argue that in this time of cultural change
and dissolution, the believer is afloat on a sea of multiplying theologies, without
rudder or compass. Lonergan was resolute in his refusal to be defeatist on this point.
While agreeing that theology must continually change to mediate between religion and
culture, he worked out an integral method to guide and control this ongoing process.
Method in Theology is the fruit of this labour. This critical edition has benefited
from extensive research into Lonergan's typescripts and from consulting the recordings
from several institutes where he lectured over the course of the work’s development.
Lonergan's intention was to provide a set of methods that would guide a collaborative
community in the ongoing construction of a theology that would move from recovery
of the data through resolution of conflicts to contemporary formulations and applications.
With this work, the cognitional theory of Insight: A Study of Human Understanding
underwent a surprising set of developments in the form of what he calls functional
specialization. [Source : éditeur]
