Lonergan Institute
Administrative history
Boston College research center. Roots for the Lonergan Institute were planted in 1973 as a collaborative effort between the Boston College Departments of Philosophy and Theology. The Lonergan Workshop was established around 1972-1973 by Professor Frederick Lawrence. In 1986, the Lonergan Center was opened at Bapst Library, serving as a reference center for Bernard J.F. Lonergan, SJ’s published and unpublished writings in addition to housing secondary materials and reference works. In 1992, the Institute was revamped and formalized. Joseph Flanagan, SJ, stepped down from his role as chair of the Department of Philosophy and headed the Institute’s newly expanded board.
Two journals are published by the Boston College Lonergan Institute: The Lonergan Workshop, edited by Fred Lawrence, and METHOD: Journal of Lonergan Studies.
