Bernard Lonergan, SJ, (1904-1984) was one of the most original and important Catholic theologians writing in English. His work in the main is directed to the difficult area of the foundations of theology. Combining the insight of St. Thomas and Kant, he has been hailed as the pioneer of a new way forward and criticized for constructing a labyrinth from which there is no exit. 'Looking at Lonergan's Method' is a collection of essays by theologians, philosophers, and scientists, Catholic and Protestant, English-speaking and continental, who offer their assessment of Lonergan's important work, 'Method in Theology.' 'Looking at Lonergan's Method' is a sequel to a conference held at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, Ireland, in the spring of 1973.
