  old things and new,  frederick e. crowe

Old Things and New:
A Strategy for Education, by Frederick E. Crowe
173 pages
In this volume Frederick Crowe begins from the Lonergan's insights about a development "from above downward" complementing development "from below upward," and applies it to a number of issues and topics in education. After outlining the two vector forces of education, which he names "heritage" and "achievement," Crowe discusses each in detail, offers a proposal for their integration, and considers post-secondary education, the Christian dimension, and the Ignatian Exercises.

  why doctrines, charles hefling

Why Doctrines?
Second edition, by Charles Hefling
168 pages
First published in 1984, this book brings a "Lonerganian" viewpoint to bear on the question that provides its title. The five central chapters discuss Christianity's doctrine - its judgments of fact and value - in relation to other notions: faith, community, authority, history, and scripture. The aim throughout is to lead readers to consider the sorts of questions that Lonergan deals with in Method in Theology and others of his later works.
