Transforming Light: Intellectual Conversion in the Early Lonergan

I was so impressed by the logic and style of this book that I have purchased several copies for friends who are interested in the philosophy of conversion. Lonergan, a famous Canadian theologian and philosopher, gradually came to intellectual conversion in the early twentieth century and this book leads the reader through his often-complex writings to explain just what it was that pulled him along to conversion- an journey that culminated in what he termed the "startling" and "strange" event of intellectual conversion.If you have read Lonergan, then you'll understand that his style is quite profound and often requires hours to get though only a few pages. The value of this book is that it synthesizes Lonergan's thought and sets it in a readable context. Very highly recommended! John Henry Newman's Grammar of Assent and Lewis' Surprised By Joy are also recommended as autobiographies of intellectual conversion.Enjoy!
