"This extremely impressive piece of scholarship displays a mastery of both Lonergan's writings and the existing literature in the field. The author has correctly identified a major lacuna in Lonergan scholarship, has offered a complex and sophisticated account to fill that gap, has supported his interpretation carefully with textual evidence, and has provided an account of the stages of the genesis of Lonergan's mature philosophy of religion. In addition, he has brought Lonergan's thought on this topic into encounter with major figures from the past and the present." — Patrick H. Byrne, coeditor of Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan: Macroeconomic Dynamics: An Essay in Circulation Analysis
