Drawing from archival research, this book details the historical development of Bernard Lonergan's understanding of love, and offers a synthesis of his position, in an effort to overcome the impasse in Lonergan studies and shed new light on the nature of love. The book engages major Lonergan scholars positions, negotiating their strengths and weaknesses in light of Lonergans whole development.

This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.
