Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield


The Death and Life of Speculative Theology delves into the intriguing proposition that speculative theology can be liberated from the confines of classicism, revitalized through the integration of modern science, philosophy, and culture, and rendered invaluable in addressing the intellectual challenges of our cosmopolitan era. By embracing the power of speculative theology, it has the potential to ignite, organize, govern, and invigorate intellectual pluralism, thereby fostering an environment that nurtures the human spirit. In this captivating narrative, Ryan Hemmer draws upon the profound insights of Bernard Lonergan, exploring the rise and decline of speculative theology, while also offering insightful predictions about its potential renewal. Moreover, he repurposes some of the forgotten achievements of speculative theology to demonstrate that modern theology can indeed serve as a contemporary science for a modern culture. This thought-provoking exploration invites us to reimagine the possibilities of theological discourse and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.
