Theology

Theology: The Story of God's Love provides a modern and accessible introduction to Roman Catholic theology based loosely on the magisterial but difficult work of Bernard Lonergan. The author invites a reflection on the theology of the individual personal story and then expands to the story of the Church and the history of its doctrines. After a creative retelling of the story for present and future generations, the whole process is reflected upon, and the vital balance between the personal, the traditional, and the creative is assessed. The author provokes an involved reflection on the self and Catholic tradition as a means to provide an introduction to the concepts of Catholic theology as it approaches the twenty-first century.
