Does An Archaeology of the Fall supplement what Tatha Wiley tells of Lonergan’s methodological theology? Certainly. Speech-alone talk supports all types of “languages”, defined as symbolic orders.
These orders capture the imagination (religious or experience activity) and inspire individuals to construct icons and indexes (moral or judgment activity).
The semiotics of speech-alone talk complements Lonergan’s methodological theology.
An Archaeology of the Fall also helps to highlight the postmodern possibilities of Longergan’s theology. Often, the symbolic orders and social constructions make sense. Often they do not, especially when they are promote unauthenticity (for fail to sustain authenticity). These contribute to the social surd.
