Method In Theology by Bernard Lonergan
A proposal for a systematic approach to theological inquiry grounded in a transcendental analysis of human knowing and choosing, it maps how attentiveness, intelligence, reasonableness, and responsibility structure research and judgment. It introduces a collaborative framework of eight functional specialties—research, interpretation, history, dialectic, foundations, doctrines, systematics, and communications—to organize the discipline’s tasks. Emphasizing self-appropriation and the dynamics of intellectual, moral, and religious conversion, it mediates between tradition and contemporary culture in a historically conscious, pluralistic context. The result is a disciplined method that integrates empirical insight with theological reflection for both scholarly work and pastoral practice.
