Shorter Papers, Vol. 20

As a prolific scholar and theologian, Bernard Lonergan authored a significant amount of material aside from the works with which he is commonly associated. Shorter Papersis a collection of lesser-known items written by Lonergan over the course of his career. Together, they offer privileged access to the authorA's thought and work, as well as a glimpse at some of his most personal qualities.The items in this volume extend from some of the earliest writings A? theBlandyke Papers, for instance, which predates any of the materials represented in the Collected Works A? to pieces written near the end of LonerganA's life. Organized chronologically, they give an impression of his development as a writer, his ever-strengthening religious commitment, and his role as teacher. As a sampling of pieces from the late 1920s to the early 1980s, Shorter Paperstestifies to the cumulative impact of LonerganA's work, as well as to the amazing continuity that he maintained throughout his career as an author and intellectual.Lonergan, Bernard is the author of 'Shorter Papers, Vol. 20', published 2007 under ISBN 9780802095176 and ISBN 0802095178.
