Bringing Bernard Lonergan Down to Earth and into Our Hearts and Communities

Philosophy

“Do not be deceived by Raymaker’s and Mombula’s title, as if they have arrived at a formula regarding ‘bringing down to earth.’ On the contrary, they identify splendidly a massive task for these next centuries. On their road to that identification there is quite an astonishing sweep through cultures and sciences, climbing to a dozen quite definite and powerful illustrations of ‘the amplitude of Lonergan’s pointers’ in the final part of the book. This is not a book for light or commonsense reading: it is a door-opening to the real possibility of establishing a world community in the millennium ahead.”
