Psychic conversion and theological foundations

Description:

"Psychic Conversion and Theological Foundations is the work of a theologian taking a professional interest in the science of depth psychology and its methods. But it also discloses the contribution that a reoriented depth psychology makes to theology itself. For depth psychology could contribute to dimensions of theology's foundations that, while acknowledged by Lonergan, were not developed by him: the aesthetic and dramatic components of human living. These can be subjected to a self-appropriation similar to that which Lonergan aids in the realm of cognitional operations. As Hans Urs von Balthasar emphasizes, it is in the aesthetic and dramatic spheres that theology will find many of its proper categories."--BOOK JACKET.
