In The Givenness of Desire, Randall S. Rosenberg examines the human desire for God through the lens of Lonergan's "concrete subjectivity."

Continuing to explore Lonergan's Trinitarian theology, Volume 2 explores the "Third Quest for the Historical Jesus," a movement strongly influenced by the late Ben F. Meyer of McMaster University.

Written in honour of Michael Vertin the distinguished philosopher and Lonergan scholar at the University of Toronot, The Importance of Insight brings together a number of thoughtful essays by leading Lonergan scholars.

In Lonergan's Quest, William A. Mathews details the genesis, researching, composition, and question structure of Insight.

At a think tank, a group of ethicists, geneticists, physicians, lawyers, and theologians gathered in an attempt to apply some features of Bernard Lonergan's notion of functional specialization to ethical debates surrounding genetics.

What Is Systematic Theology? is the most thorough attempt undertaken to date to advance Lonergan's program for systematics, fully in the spirit of his work but addressing issues that he left to others.
