The Death and Life of Speculative Theology argues that speculative theology can be decoupled from classicism, transformed through modern science, philosophy, and culture, and made useful for addressing intellectual problems in this cosmopolitan age. Speculative theology can provoke, organize, regulate, and invigorate intellectual pluralism and thereby contribute to making the world a home for the human spirit. Drawing on the thought of Bernard Lonergan, Ryan Hemmer narrates the rise and fall of speculative theology, anticipates how it might be renewed, and repurposes some of its forgotten achievements to show that modern theology can be a modern science for a modern culture.

This book is a splendid analysis, recovery, expansion, and purification of speculative method to address myriads of problems confronting contemporary societies. Like no other, Hemmer’s picturesque style perfectly grasps not only the intricacies of Robert M. Doran’s thoughts on systematic theology, its retrieval of Bernard Lonergan’s pre-Method systematic/speculative theological writings but also the complexities of the specific goal of speculation as understanding of faith. A worthy response to classicism, conservatism, post-modernist claims, and liberalism. A welcome engagement with the anthropological, semiotic, and psychoanalytic challenges of the modern notion of culture, science, philosophy, and the new context for theology which is empirical and pluralistic.
