The Avant- Garde Theology of George Tyrrell

My contention for many years has been that theological problems are first, and principally philosophical problems and need to be addressed as such. It is unfortunate that, at this time, in the development of religious ideas in the Western context, the place of philosophy in relation to theology seems to have been usurped to a great extent by sociology and psychology. I hold that the needed scientific philosophy must be a reasoned philosophy, but one that is not necessarily rooted in Greek classical thought.
