Interested in Pope Francis and now Pope Leo, Vatican 2, an Active Participative Liturgy, and Synodality. No formal background in philosophy or theology. Occasionally enjoys playing with and trying to solve mathematical puzzles or problems.

Holman walks us through the development of a number of theological methods that Chenu pioneered (with big pushback from the pre-Vatican II institutional Church). He was a key contributor to the development of the historical, socially engaged, contextual, and inductive methods used today.

Holman gives us a well-crafted biographical look at the remarkable life of the adult Chenu, from his joining the Dominicans at a young age, his work as a theologian, his contributions to the riches of Vatican II, through to his death at age 95.

And to make matters worse, when I listed the first 32 prime numbers and asked Google AI to add them, I was given a different answer again.

I had originally asked Google AI to find me the sum of the first 32 prime numbers. I had been doing a math puzzle and wanted to check part of my work. The AI correctly listed the first 32 Prime Numbers but failed to add them correctly. The correct answer is 1851.

Can we expect an English language edition as with the Biden book four years ago?
