| Summary: | Wilfred Cantwell Smith (1916-2000) is well known for his influential work in religious studies and Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) for his work in the foundations of theology. To some extent, their works are mutually connected. Among other things, both Smith and Lonergan were interested in how the human faith experience is crucial for interreligious encounter. The purpose of this essay is threefold: (1) to draw attention to preliminary evidence of both affinities and differences in the work of Smith and Lonergan; (2) to draw attention to the relevance of their work to the contemporary challenge of religious and cultural diversity; and (3) to invite fresh efforts toward interpreting their respective works on the human faith experience. |
