Lonergan's Early Economic Research
Lonergan's Early Economic Research delves into the origins of Bernard Lonergan's economic theory through his own writing on the subject. Michael Shute provides transcriptions of many of Lonergan's private files on economics for a deeper understanding of his groundbreaking macroeconomic theory. An introduction by the editor contextualizes the works, which also serve as archival materials relevant to the companion volume Lonergan's Discovery of the Science of Economics. Organized around specific themes such as dialectic of history, methodology, economic history, and price equilibrium, the book makes available a substantial amount of previously unpublished texts. Materials include Lonergan's earliest notes on economics prior to his move to Rome in 1933, the complete surviving portion of 'An Essay in Fundamental Sociology,' and notes on economists Heinrich Pesch and Lionel Robbins, among others. These early works show that Lonergan built his economic discoveries on the methodological developments that he founded in his writings on the philosophy of history.
Lonergan's Discovery of the Science of Economics
Bernard Lonergan's economic writings span forty years and contain ideas that differ radically from those of his contemporaries. His theory of macroeconomic dynamics was developed through the 1930s and 1940s, culminating in the composition of For a New Political Economy (1942) and An Essay in Circulation Analysis (1944). In Lonergan's Discovery of the Science of Economics, Michael Shute uses archival material in order to examine the influence of Lonergan's early work in methodology, social philosophy, and theology on the development of his economic theory. Shute traces the development of Lonergan's economic ideas from the late 1920s to the publication of his significant economic works in the 1940s. Together with its companion volume, Lonergan's Early Economic Research, this volume outlines the process behind one of the great intellectual discoveries of the twentieth century and uncovers Lonergan's framework for a genuine science of economics.

The Road to Lonergan's Method in Theology
This text is an exposition of the theological method practiced by Bernard Lonergan from 1940-1984. The author traces the course of what surely was the most significant series of questions in Lonergan's methodological developments between Insight and Method in Theology. Includes the contents of unpublished and/or Latin works that would not be studied by many otherwise, and offers the only extensive study of this series of important developments. The topic is of enormous importance for understanding one of the major theologians of our century.

Living Ethically in Christ
Is there any difference between Christian ethics and philosophical ethics? Does Christian faith change the content of ethical theory for believers? This book attempts to understand the troubling nature of the question and the importance of an answer that depends less on ethical systems than on ethical activity. The book uses Bernard Lonergan's turn to the human subject as a foundational point for understanding ethical reasoning. By also engaging the insights of language philosophy, the work demonstrates the uniqueness of Christian ethics and its openness to sharing its truths with all other traditions.
