Lonergan Gatherings

A series of essays addressed both to those who are gathering material from Lonergan or teaching Lonergan’s perspective and to others who are wondering what place Lonergan’s 1969 Gregorianum article “Functional Specialties in Theology” has in the gathering and the gatherings.  A central question of this series is the following: “Do you view humanity as possibly maturing—in some serious way—or just messing along between good and evil, whatever you think they are?”  These essays are complemented by the recently published book, The Allure of the Compelling Genius of History: Teaching Young Humans Humanity and Hope” (Vancouver: Axial Publishing, 2015).

(Please note that in some of the essays there are hyperlinks to essays hosted on an earlier version of this website. All of those essays are now available on this website and can be easily found using the search bar.)
