In the mid- to late-1930s, while he was a student at the Gregorian
University in Rome, Bernard Lonergan wrote a series of eight essays
on the philosophy and theology of history. These essays foreshadow
a number of the major themes in his life's work. The significance
of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the
later trajectory of Lonergan's own work but also for the
development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important
entry from 1965 in his archival papers, Lonergan wrote that the
"mediated object" of systematics is Geschichte or the history that
is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the
"doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to
understand are focused on "redemption." The seeds of such a
theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that
are so pronounced in his later work first appear. Students of
Lonergan's work will find their understanding of his philosophy
profoundly affected by the essays in this volume.
