Reviews

This work studies how Lonergan's comprehensive method can help mitigate the social, economic. and particularly religious tensions caused by globalization. Lonergan studied human understanding. He also examined Catholic teaching up to and following the Vatican II Council. The Council confirmed the Church's respect for a person's conscience in the midst of modern tensions. Christians today must address the problems caused by a militant Islam as well as the arguments of secularists. The book analyzes today's many identity crises. It argues that Lonergan's method can help people build bridges between hearts and minds. -- William Weiskopf, Ph.D, Catholic Lay Theologian
