Episode Synopsis

Bernard Lonergan's "Method in Theology" proposes a systematic and dynamic framework for theological inquiry, grounded in a rigorous analysis of the human mind and its operations. Lonergan moves beyond static, rule-based notions of method, advocating for a "transcendental method" that discerns the recurrent, related, and cumulative patterns inherent in conscious human activity. This method serves as a foundation for understanding the human good, the multi-faceted nature of meaning, the dynamics of religious experience, and the organization of theological tasks into "functional specialties."This is a book review or commentary on an academic subject with content curated by Ivelisse Valentin-Vera and recorded with the power of NotebookLM to ensure every AI generated conversation is accurate, deep and accessible, and does not represent the opinion of the authors.www.ivelissevalentin.comDisclaimer: This episode features a book review or commentary recorded with AI.
