O texto contrapõe a ênfase posta na doutrina pelos antigos doutores cristãos ao longo da época pré-moderna com a maneira tipicamente moderna de acentuar a experiência religiosa, abordando os seguintes tópicos: (1) a concepção de Lonergan da intencionalidade humana; (2) a noção do que ele chama de “reinos de significado”; (3) as interrelações entre os diversos componentes da experiência religiosa; (4) finalmente, a caracterização do projeto de Lonergan de uma integração de fé e razão.
