Lonergan's Method in Theology
Lonergan’s method in theology is a systematic approach to understanding religious truth through four key steps: experiencing (gathering data from life and faith), understanding (analyzing and making sense of that data), judging (evaluating what is true), and deciding (acting based on that truth). It emphasizes reflective awareness and disciplined reasoning to explore divine mysteries and human experiences of faith. This method seeks a humble, ongoing process of learning, where insights are continually refined, fostering a deeper, more authentic relationship with the divine through thoughtful discernment.
