Gerard Whelan, S.I.

A Method for Journeying Together: Synodality in the light of Bernard Lonergan’s Method in Theology

ABSTRACT
This article is intended as an introduction to a dossier of four articles that celebrates the fifty-year anniversary of the publication of Bernard Lonergan’s Method in Theology by relating this to current theological reflection on a synodal Church. Beginning with an overview of what Pope Francis means by synodality, it comments on the relevance for synodality of Lonergan’s prior work, Insight: A Study of Human Understanding. It then discusses key themes in Method in Theology, in a way that anticipates themes that are treated in more depth by the other articles in this dossier.
Themes that emerge include the importance of understanding dialectic method in terms of encounter and dialogue; and the ability of a theological method based on functional specialisation to satisfy the concerns of conservative Catholics who, at present, tend to oppose the teaching of Pope Francis.
