Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In this radical new interpretation of love as the touchstone of the Christian message, well-respected author, Leonard Doohan, explores the human longing for meaning; the Scriptures; the relational model of the Trinity; the ideas of human vocations, destiny and community; the mystical spiritual traditions; and his own experiences to explain what love is, how we find it, and how it can change the world.

Nota de la solapa:

Christian love is not some weak, fuzzy attempt to be "nice" and "not rock any boats." God's love is the trans formative power of the universe that was revealed in Jesus Christ and is available to anyone willing to pay the price of embracing it. It is "the one thing necessary" that Jesus taught and acted upon during his ministry.

In this radical new interpretation of love as the touchstone of the Christian message, well-respected author Leonard Doohan explorers the human longing for meaning; the Scriptures;; the relational model of the Trinity: the ideas of human vocation, destiny, and community; the mystical spiritual traditions; and his own experiences to explain what love is, how we find it, and how we can use it to change the world.

While there are many wonderful books on thematic aspects related to love-love in marriage, love and social justice, love and psychological development, for example, this book's originality is that its single focus on the power of love brings together central insights of human search, Scripture, theology, and spirituality - all centering on the way of love.

Each of the seven chapters contains several quotes and focus points at the beginning and provocative questions at the end for reflection or discussion by adult religious education and bible study groups.
