Description

Systematic Theology: A Comprehensive Approach Robert M. Doran's What Is Systematic Theology? offers a thorough exploration of Lonergan's program for systematics, addressing issues left unfulfilled by Bernard Lonergan's own work in Method in Theology. Doran builds upon Lonergan's four key emphases for systematic theology: the hypothetical and analogical understanding of faith mysteries, starting with dogmatically established concepts, proceeding in the 'order of teaching', and aiming for explanatory rather than descriptive approaches. This book provides a detailed response to these principles, introducing a novel concept of a core set of meanings for systematics - or a 'unified field structure'. By integrating the systematic ideal with contemporary historical consciousness, Doran's work offers a fresh perspective on Lonergan's program, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Christian theology.
