Lonergan scholar Frederick Crowe once noted that the topic of Bernard Lonergan and liberation theology can seem like Melchizedek, that is, without either contextual father or mother. The same, of course, goes for Lonergan and the Preferential Option for the Poor. This book argues that Lonergan's work offers a highly cogent and powerful method for integrating the Option for the Poor into systematic theology.
