The 'Avant-Garde' Theology Of George Tyrrell

The readers of this treatise need not be theologians or philosophers already well versed in scholarly debate, though students at the graduate level are prime targets. For them Allan Savage unfolds the intellectual road map he has used in his quest for a new approach to God, and a foundation for his own beliefs as a contemporary Catholic priest. A work in progress! He slowly unveils his evaluation of Tyrrell’s analysis of classical schools of thought, the common threads to be found within them, their limitations as a basis for contemporary Christian thinking and, frequently, their perceived inadequacy for tomorrow’s needs. ...From the Foreword.
