Book Synopsis Engaging the Thought of Bernard Lonergan by : Louis Roy
Download or read book Engaging the Thought of Bernard Lonergan written by Louis Roy and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984) was a Canadian Jesuit philosopher, theologian, and humanist who taught in Montreal, Toronto, Rome, and Boston. His groundbreaking works Insight: A Study of Human Understanding (1957) and Method in Theology (1972) attempt to discern how knowledge is advanced in the natural sciences, the human studies, the arts, ethics, and theology. In Engaging the Thought of Bernard Lonergan, Louis Roy stresses the empirical aspect of Lonergan’s cognitional theory in relation to the role of meaning, objectivity, subjectivity, and historical consciousness. Rather than introducing every facet of his philosophy and theology, Roy delivers a balanced account of Lonergan’s achievements in fifteen discrete studies, delving into the implications of his cognitional theory for religious experience, theology, education, truth, classicism, relativism, and ethics. Discussing aspects of Lonergan’s thought that are seldom examined, these fifteen studies represent, criticize, and develop the ideas of one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Demonstrating the richness of one scholar’s contributions to contemporary culture, Engaging the Thought of Bernard Lonergan presents a thoughtful analysis and a significant advance in Lonergan studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As can beseen from this volume, the Australian Lonergan Workshop aims to encourage a diversity of contributions from across many disciplines and fields, from emerging young voices and those who continually value Lonergan's work to inform, to bring to birth insights stirred by what Frederick Crowe, sj, called 'a profundity we have dimly glimpsed in Lonergan's work; we have a sense of an enormous potential to develop.' The result is a collection ranging from the eclectic, stirring and practical, to the richly theological, and scholarly. Nonetheless, each contribution adds to the valuable ongoing exploration of ideas necessary for conversation and progress. To this end, the Australian Lonergan Workshop while a modest publication, remains an invaluable vehicle for developing Lonergan scholarship in Oceania.

Book Synopsis Shorter Papers by : Bernard Lonergan
Download or read book Shorter Papers written by Bernard Lonergan and published by Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan. This book was released on 2007 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a prolific scholar and theologian, Bernard Lonergan authored a significant amount of material aside from the works with which he is commonly associated. Shorter Papers is a collection of lesser-known items written by Lonergan over the course of his career. Together, they offer privileged access to the author's thought and work, as well as a glimpse at some of his most personal qualities. The items in this volume extend from some of the earliest writings - the Blandyke Papers, for instance, which predates any of the materials represented in the Collected Works - to pieces written near the end of Lonergan's life. Organized chronologically, they give an impression of his development as a writer, his ever-strengthening religious commitment, and his role as teacher. As a sampling of pieces from the late 1920s to the early 1980s, Shorter Papers testifies to the cumulative impact of Lonergan's work, as well as to the amazing continuity that he maintained throughout his career as an author and intellectual. Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College. An established author known for his Insight and Method in Theology, Lonergan received numerous honorary doctorates, was a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1971 and was named an original member of the International Theological Commission by Pope Paul VI.
Book Synopsis And in Our Hearts Take Up Thy Rest by : Michael Eades
Download or read book And in Our Hearts Take Up Thy Rest written by Michael Eades and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his seminary classes and his writings, Frederick Crowe, SJ (1915-2012) sought to understand anew the eternal identity of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit's role in the Church's life. Despite Crowe's fame as a professor of Trinitarian theology and his groundbreaking work on Thomas Aquinas' doctrine of complacent love as an analogy for the Holy Spirit's eternal procession, no book has ever been published on this influential Canadian Jesuit, who set up centres around the world for the study of the thought of Bernard Lonergan, SJ (1904-84). Drawing on Crowe's published works and archival material, Eades emphasizes how Crowe's Trinitarian pneumatology modestly and creatively extended Lonergan's theology of the Holy Spirit. Making use of Crowe's own historical methodology, Eades looks for the emergence of new and significant questions about the Holy Spirit in Crowe's works.
Book Synopsis Topics in Education by : Bernard J. F. Lonergan
Download or read book Topics in Education written by Bernard J. F. Lonergan and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Lonergan devoted much of his life's work to developing a generalized method of inquiry, an integrated view which would overcome the fragmentation of knowledge in our time. In Topics in Education Lonergan adapts that concern to the practical needs of educators. Traditionalist and modernist notions of education are both criticized. Lonergan attempts to work out, in the context of the human good and the 'new learning,' the rudiments of a philosophy of education based on his well-known discovery of norms in the unfolding of intelligent, reasonable, and responsible consciousness. He explores how the scientific revolution has changed ways of understanding reality, and examines the implications of this revolution for education. Topics in Education, the first publication of his 1959 lectures, follows Lonergan on his early explorations of human development, studies the theories ofJean Piaget and others, and concludes with his own original ideas in the realms of ethics, art, and history. Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College. An established author known for his Insight and Method in Theology, Lonergan received numerous honorary doctorates, was a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1971 and was named as an original members of the International Theological Commission by Pope Paul VI.
Book Synopsis Religion and Violence by : Dominic Arcamone
Download or read book Religion and Violence written by Dominic Arcamone and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of Religion and Violence is to engage dialectically key symbols of religiously motivated violence through the insights of Bernard Lonergan. Sociologists and psychologists argue the link between religion and violence. Religion is viewed more as part of the problem and not part of the solution to violence. Bernard Lonergan's insights have helped the author arrive at a number of conclusions regarding the link between religion and violence. He argues that there is a difference between distorted religion and genuine religion, between authenticity and inauthenticity of the subject. Distorted religion has the capacity to shape traditions in ways that justify violence, while genuine religion heals persons, helps them make different moral decisions when confronted with situations of conflict, and aims to explore new ways of understanding themselves as shaping history toward progress. Further, Religion and Violence, while arguing from within the Catholic Christian tradition, nevertheless seeks to provide a number of categories that will speak to people from other cultural traditions. Since many of the examples of religious violence cited by commentators come out of the Islamic tradition, the author has evidenced and explored more authentic aspects of the Islamic tradition that would help provide a solution to violence. ""Drawing on Lonergan's normative framework, Arcamone explodes the myth that religion and violence are inextricably linked. He challenges studies of religion to move beyond merely empirical accounts to find the beating heart of religion in experiences of transcendent love and meaning. But this is also a challenge to all religions to engage in self-purification to address the distortions that promote violence. Only then can religion be a force for healing in a troubled world."" --Neil Ormerod, Professor of Theology, Australian Catholic University ""Dominic Arcamone takes titans of religious thought--Rene Girard, Charles Taylor, and most significantly, Bernard Lonergan--and brings their insights to bear as he explores the relationship between religion and violence. It is at once an engaging, dialectical, and constructive piece of scholarship in which he examines symbols of cosmic war, martyrdom, demonization, and warrior empowerment. Arcamone's timely work offers a much-needed and highly nuanced framework that enables one to discern between authentic and inauthentic religious claims about violence."" --Rohan Curnow, Academic Registrar, Professor Extraordinarius of Dogmatic Theology, Catholic Institute of Sydney ""Dominic Arcamone tackles the oft-avoided relationship between violence and religion with care, intelligence, and a genuine concern to effectively communicate complex ideas. Addressing the dangerous ideas of the attraction of violence and war and its influence on religious imagination, Religion and Violence critically examines notions of legitimate authority, justice, right intentions, and their cumulative impact on action . . . Religion is the fruit of creativity born from sustained hard work. Truly a book for our times."" --John Francis Collins, Acting Director, Catholic Enquiry Centre, Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Dominic Arcamone works as a mission manager in health care. He has been a sessional lecturer for the Australian Catholic University since 2007 writing and teaching graduate and postgraduate courses in theological subjects. He has a BTh, MTh, MA (Counseling and Pastoral Care), DMin, and PhD. His theological reflection has been enhanced through integrating the insights of the Canadian philosopher and theologian Bernard Lonergan. Since the events of 9/11, he has focused on the problem of religion and violence.
Book Synopsis Empowering Bernard Lonergan's Legacy by : John Raymaker
Download or read book Empowering Bernard Lonergan's Legacy written by John Raymaker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowering Bernard Lonergan's Legacy offers an interdisciplinary approach to Lonergan's work. It presents a series of five "feedback matrices" to situate his work within a historical context. The matrices also serve to establish foundations for an interdisciplinary ethics and a method for interreligious dialogue. "Feedback" and "matrix" are key, but previously unstressed, notions in Lonergan's work. The book's final two collaborative feedback matrices could best be implemented in a proposed international Lonergan association. Raymaker argues that without such an association, Lonergan's breakthrough method cannot reach its interdisciplinary and collaborative potential. One of Lonergan's most important achievements was his development of foundations for the sciences, ethics, and interreligious dialogue. One can best empower Lonergan's legacy through a correct understanding and implementation of how the data of human consciousness affects all human knowledge and activities.

Book Synopsis Coherent Christianity by : Louis Roy
Download or read book Coherent Christianity written by Louis Roy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout this book, Louis Roy illustrates his conviction that Christianity consists in the most profound experience to which human beings are invited by God. This experience involves meaning and truth, hope and love, suffering and joy, solidarity and critique. It is a space of freedom, where diverse persons seek the light and make their decisions, interacting with the intellectual and affective resources of their culture. Faith is understood as a personal and communal adventure--a sequence of real life experiences. The book proposes an articulate and coherent vision of the Christian faith. It surveys the complementary dimensions of Christian experience. It points to various paths, traveled by different people. It offers an actualization for our time, that is, a road map that is at the same time flexible and in keeping with truth. It engages in a dialogue with psychology and with non-Christian views, for example on meditation and on reincarnation. The book is addressed to a large audience of educated readers, who are likely to be very interested in its biblical, philosophical, psychological, sociological, interreligious, and pastoral components. Its originality consists in bringing together the interactions between several disciplines, in a practical way.

Book Synopsis Lonergan and Feminism by : Cynthia S. W. Crysdale
Download or read book Lonergan and Feminism written by Cynthia S. W. Crysdale and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Lonergan's work has been developed and applied to a range of cultures and ideas, few scholars have addressed the question of whether it is subject to feminist critique. And few feminists have employed the transcendental method of Lonergan to aid the feminist scholarly agenda. This collection of ten essays initiates dialogue among scholars interested in Lonergan and concerned with feminism, and engages several fields of enquiry: philosophy, natural science, human science, ethics, and theology. Frederick E. Crowe deals with the challenges involved when one applies the work of a generalist, such as Lonergan, to a particular set of concerns, such as those of feminists. Three articles by philosophers - Paulette Kidder, Michael Vertin, and Elizabeth Morelli - treat questions of epistemology and gender. Cynthia Crysdale discusses women's ways of knowing from a social scientific perspective. Articles by Tad Dunne and Denise Carmody deal with the question of authenticity and the criteria by which feminist truths are delineated. Michael Shute examines Lonergan's work on `emergent probability' in light of eco-feminist critiques of the `great chain of being.' Mary Frohlich addresses the question of the theological significance of sexuality. Charles Hefling examines Lonergan's Christology in reference to the feminist question of whether a male saviour can save women. Lonergan invites his readers to engage in an experiment in cognitive self-appropriation - Lonergan and Feminism encourages this experiment.
Book Synopsis Revelation in a Pluralistic World by : Louis Roy
Download or read book Revelation in a Pluralistic World written by Louis Roy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Enlightenment, the churches have progressively suffered a severe loss of status because of their belief that revelation is realized only in Christianity. The suggestion that Christian revelation might be truer than other so-called revelations seems to be preposterous. This book argues that this insistence has often remained unnuanced and simplistic, with the consequence that not only unbelievers as well as believers of other religions, but even numerous Christians no longer agree with the primacy of a truth revealed in Jesus Christ. The book addresses the difficulties affecting the interpretation of belief, given modernity's concerns. The volume sets out a provisional synthesis on revelation and it makes available much expository and historical information. It correlates distinctions between pair members such as the natural and the supernatural, conceptualism and intellectualism, heart and reason, subjectivity and objectivity, limited perspective and universal viewpoint, permanence of doctrine and historicity, Christian and non-Christian claims regarding truth, revelation and divine speech, moderate and radical pluralism, Jesus absolutized and Jesus relativized. The thrust of the argument is towards an appropriation of what is best in ancient, medieval, and modern traditions on revelation. This book delineates, in an original way, a position on revelation that is at once traditional and relevant for today. It accepts many values brought to the fore by modernity and draws from exegetes, historians, philosophers, and theologians. Its inspiration comes principally from the Bible, Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, and Bernard Lonergan.
Book Synopsis A Science-Theology Rapprochement by : Cyril Orji
Download or read book A Science-Theology Rapprochement written by Cyril Orji and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and fascinating work addresses questions of ultimate concerns for Christian believers by clarifying what religious believers’ statement “God creates” means in relation to the mechanistic determinism of science enthusiasts and the New Atheist Movement. Drawing from the methodological works of C.S. Peirce, Bernard Lonergan, and Wolfhart Pannenberg, the book creatively shows how the old science-theology conflict, or “warfare”, can be turned into one of collaboration or rapprochement. Using the works of these three thinkers, it departs from the common practice of treating the field of science-theology as an abstract mainstream theology. The book takes a stand on contextual theology, treating the problem posed by Richard Dawkins and his fellow New Atheists as one in need of a creative solution. It also suggests that the dialogue between science and theology must take seriously the experiences and challenges from different social and cultural contexts. The text shows how these experiences can lead to the kind of creative theological thinking we see in the works of Pannenberg and Lonergan, who both explicate, not only how an understanding of an evolutionary universe is compatible with the Christian doctrine of creation, but also how a methodological comparison of science and theology reveals a common concern for human understanding and openness to divine agency.
