by Bernard Lonergan

No Catholic thinker of the 20th century has shown a greater awareness of the demands of the present and the future on the tradition of the past than Bernard J.F. Lonergan; and no Catholic thinker of recent years, while shunning the fads and chimeras of a facile modernity, has responded more creatively and with greater intellectual rigor to the challenge of the age.This collection of essays is evidenced the broad range of his interests in science, mathematics, theology, and philosophy, the severely disciplined character of his thinking, and the scholarship and methodological brilliance that have brought him acclaim from such varying sources as 'Time' and 'Continuum,' 'National Catholic Reporter ' and 'Theological Studies.'
