Truth in the Making: Knowledge and Creation in Modern Philosophy and Theology
This text is dense and citation heavy ' which are usually positives, however it is makes this 1978 edition feel outdate ' more research, scholarship, and development of/ on the liturgy has happened in the meantime, which necessarily makes this otherwise excellent volume of minimal useful in some places. It is useful, but I assume the newer edition is more relevant. I look forward to reading the newer edition at some point as I much appreciate this book, but wish for a more updated discussion ' not that older discussion are to be reject, just that the need for a newer edition was felt, which seems to be an indication that something more is to be said.
