Finding God in All Things

"Serendipitously, Bernard Lonergan, John Courtney Murray and Karl Rahner were all born in 1904. Ingeniously, however, Mark Bosco and David Stagaman took the occasion of their recent centenaries to collect together a distinguished set of essays on these three Jesuit scholars. Bosco and Stagaman's commentaries show how all three were deeply influenced by Joseph Marechal, by concerns for historical consciousness and modernity, by their shared underlying Ignatian spirituality and mysticism and by their participation in Vatican II. This collection provides a very astute lens to look at and chart the course of twentieth-century Catholic theology." -- -John A. Coleman, S.J. Loyola Marymount University "This outstanding collection by leading English speaking commentators weaves the gripping story of the epoch-shaping works Bernard Lonergan, John Courtney Murray, and Karl Rahner into the encounter of Catholic belief and faith with God in the modern world after Vatican II." -- -Bob Lassalle-Klein Holy Names University "An inspired idea-a book about three Jesuit theological giants, written from the perspectives of those who knew them and whose lives and work were impacted by them. Rahner, Murray and Lonergan come across as deeply human men from whom we still have much to learn. Lyrical in places, intellectually stimulating, and deeply moving, these essays stand as a living testament to the legacy of twentieth century Jesuit theology. This is the kind of book that should appeal to all serious theologians-especially the younger ones who are now two or three generations removed from this great generation." -- -Paul Crowley, S.J. Santa Clara University "2004 marked the centenary of the births of several men who became giants among the theologians of the twentieth century. Three of these were Jesuits: Bernard Lonergan, John Courtney Murray, and Karl Rahner. The present volume, assembled and edited by two of their Jesuit brothers, contains some real gems honoring these magnificent figures. They would be grateful for the tribute." -- -Robert M. Doran, S.J. Marquette University
