‘[Crowe] is a brilliant theologian whose research and interpretation in the field of Lonergan studies is unparalleled.’ ‘Developing the Lonergan Legacy gives eminent testimony to Crowe’s refined elucidation of the inner dynamism of Lonergan’s thought and to the originality of Crowe’s own contribution within the world of Lonerganian and theological scholarship.’ ‘Crowe brings out subtle nuances in the development of [Lonergan’s] thought, and he creatively opens up new areas for the application of his work.’ ‘There is much in this collection that will prove rewarding, both to those new to Lonergan’s thought as well as to advanced scholars.’
Comprising twenty papers, including six never before published, this long-awaited work spans the fifty-year career of noted theologian Frederick E. Crowe, a scholar who has devoted himself to studying, expounding, and making available the writings of Bernard Lonergan, the well-known Canadian Jesuit philosopher and theologian who died in 1984. The publication of these papers, compiled by Michael Vertin, is a tribute both to their subject and to their author. Developing the Lonergan Legacy both recounts the history of Lonergan's work in philosophy and theology, and offers significant theoretical and existential developments of that work. Divided into two sections - 'studies,' which examines the historical context of Lonergan and his writings, and 'essays,' which applies Lonergan's work in different directions - the essays in this volume are motivated by Crowe's deep concern for the concrete intellectual, moral, and religious welfare of his readers, of all those whom his readers might influence, and ultimately of the entire human community. Vertin's meticulous editing and thoughtful sequencing only add to the uniquely spiritual character of Crowe's works.
