Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These seven substantial essays treat of various aspects of the need for conflict resolution between several aspects of modern thought and the Catholic Tradition. Rather than engage in the type of libido dominandi that he correctly sees present in one degree or another in the movement of thought which finally resulted in modernism and its heirs, Matthew Lamb proceeds dialectically. Under the guidance of Bernard Lonergan's intellectual corpus, Lamb re-penetrates ancient thought and engages modern thought in a manner which exposes the weaknesses of the latter while respecting its intellectual advances. This is an important contribution in our efforts to receive Vatican II correctly. -- Fr. Francis Martin, Cardinal Adam Maida Chair in Biblical Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
