Further Development

The chapter on religion in Bernard Lonergan’s Method in Theology is a rich compilation of many ideas that were important to his thought throughout his career. It is at once a theory of ‘genuine’ religion, a theory of the distortions of such religion, and an expansion of his theology of grace into a wider ecumenical multi-religious or universalist context, to name a few. This essay draws upon that chapter to investigate a further development of Lonergan’s thought of a fourth stage of meaning to be added to his three stages of meaning. Among other things, the fourth stage of meaning anticipates a global age of inter-religious and social cooperation. It also enables one to avoid the danger of the third stage with an overemphasis on interiority by bringing emphases upon vertical and horizontal alterity. Moreover, in the context of Method in Theology as a whole, this theory also raises questions about the future of systematic theology in view of the emerging fourth stage as a distinct differentiated realm.

The Way

Bringing the interim explorations of Chapter 7 into closer dialogue with the inherited content of Christian tradition, this chapter expounds a series of insights which are vital for the doctrine of salvation. It takes up the themes of sin, human worth and creativity, freedom, salvation as gift, church and community, and the future as they impinge upon and are in large part shaped by the way that salvation is defined. In the process, the chapter acknowledges how the doctrine of salvation links to other themes within Christian systematic theology whilst focusing upon the aspects of salvation which the cultural-theological method followed highlight as needing to be addressed in the present.
