The Redemption (English, Bernard Lonergan | Robert Doran S. J. | Jeremy Wilkins)

Product description Review "'Redemption' is a complex notion. It generally means bringing good out of evil. But what is evil? - and how does the existence of evil cohere with the goodness of God? How can we think about this? In The Redemption, Lonergan thoroughly examines the notion of redemption, its presence in the Scriptures and in the Christian tradition, in order to arrive at wonderful insights into the deepest nature of our Christian situation."--Richard Liddy, Professor of Religious Studies, Seton Hall University"This volume is an indispensable addition to the Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan. A painstakingly accurate translation, The Redemption includes both the concluding theses from volume 8, the theses devoted to redemption, and offers also the text and translation of a substantial manuscript on the same topic that Lonergan never published. The volume represents a model of editorial research."--William P.
