Reviews

The breadth of Beards' engagement with 19th century and contemporary philosophers – from Newman to Heidegger, from Nietzsche to G. E. Moore and Gila Sher — demonstrates the depth of Bernard Lonergan's epistemic foundations. Aware of these depths, Beards is also aware of the heights to which Lonergan aspired and attained in connecting St. Thomas's explicit appreciation of theology as a science with the foundations he excavated and made explicit in the Verbum articles and Insight. Beards continues to be a trustworthy contemporary custodian of Lonergan's legacy. * Father Guy Mansini, Professor of Systematic Theology, Ave Maria University, US *
