And in Our Hearts Take Up Thy Rest: The Trinitarian Pneumatology of Frederick Crowe, SJ
© 2019
In his seminary classes and his writings, Frederick Crowe, SJ (1915–2012) sought to understand anew the eternal identity of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit’s role in the Church’s life. Despite Crowe’s fame as a professor of Trinitarian theology and his groundbreaking work on Thomas Aquinas’s doctrine of complacent love as an analogy for the Holy Spirit’s eternal procession, no book has ever been published on this influential Canadian Jesuit, who established centres around the world dedicated to stuyding the theological writings of Bernard Lonergan, SJ (1904–84). Drawing on Crowe’s published works and archival materials, Eades emphasizes how Crowe’s Trinitarian pneumatology creatively extended Lonergan’s theology of the Holy Spirit. Making use of Crowe’s own historical methodology, Eades looks for the emergence of new and significant questions about the Holy Spirit in Crowe’s works.

Reviews
“Well-supported by reference to Crowe’s work and the works of Bernard Lonergan on which Crowe built his own edifice, And in Our Hearts Take Up Thy Rest shows a thorough familiarity with Crowe’s work and the biographical and wider historical events and issues that influenced his pneumatology.”
Jeremy Blackwood, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology, Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology"And in Our Hearts Take Up Thy Rest would primarily be of benefit to scholars interested in Thomas Aquinas, Bernard Lonergan, St. Francis de Sales, pneumatology, ecclesiology, interreligious dialogue, and contemporary ethical issues."
