John Raymaker Knihy

Exploring the intersection of spirituality and philosophy, the book delves into the concepts of a spiritual genome, drawing comparisons between the thoughts of John Paul II and Lonergan with Japanese Buddhism. Raymaker argues that while life possesses a coded genome, humans uniquely have a free, uncoded spiritual genome, offering a compelling alternative to postmodern skepticism. This work builds on previous ideas, enriching the dialogue between different spiritual traditions and contemporary philosophical challenges.

The authors explore the challenges posed by globalization and secularization, examining the Church's response to the realities of modernism and postmodernism in a diverse society. They provide insights into how the Church is reassessing its role and adapting to the complexities of a multicultural world.

The book presents an exploration of Bernard Lonergan's methodologies, particularly his eight-step method from "Method in Theology," which complements his earlier work "Insight." Pat Daly, MD, introduces the GEM Model for medicine, applying Lonergan's principles to healthcare practices. By delving into the Functional Specialties, the author aims to enhance understanding and application of Lonergan's ideas on "Healing and Creating in History," offering a structured approach to integrating these philosophical concepts into medical practice.
