Abstract In the rapidly changing global times we cannot ignore the emerging new reality of concrete religious pluralism in our world. To meet this challenge, in this paper, I have specifically focused on Bernard Lonergan's notion of religious value as this relates to the human subject as a person and as this relates to experiences of love as these are known by persons at the higher levels of consciousness. We see how fully Lonergan dedicated himself to a thorough study of human interiority and how he related experiences of religious value to decisions that exist at the fourth level of human consciousness. Within our affectivity, a state or condition of being in love is critical in any fruitful search that yearns for good decisions and discernment about the meaning of religious values. And so, from a foundation proceeding from the normative dynamism that exists within human interiority, one can apply Lonergan's principles of explanation to our contemporary religious world that, as we experience it, is filled with so much diversity.
