Recenzii
’... in presenting the key problems of current research on love, the essays offer a valuable and thought-provoking guide to this perennially intriguing subject.’ Ephemerides Theologicæ Lovanienses ’Because there are few (if any) weak links as the reader moves from each chapter to the next (unlike many edited volumes), what emerges is a convergence of insights, arguments, and exploratory hypotheses that advances the interdisciplinary discussion on theology of love.’ Religious Studies Review '[This volume plays] a significant role in addressing specific issues in current research and stimulating contemporary discussion. ... in these pages, there is embedded much to stimulate reflection and action on the most central of all religious dimensions, love human and love divine.' Modern Believing
Descriere
This book brings together philosophical and theological perspectives on agapistic love. The aim of the text is to illuminate the nature of unlimited love by distinct and integrative approaches to the intersection of the divine and the human. Various scientific approaches to human forms of love seem to shed light on our nature as social beings. But to what extent are the natural desires for affection, sexual love and friendship augmented, revised, perfected or replaced by the gift of grace? In other words, we can ask how is it that agapé modifies or shapes the natural loves? To date, there is no text available that brings scholars from various theological and philosophical backgrounds together to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue on this important and much neglected aspect of research into the human and divine loves. This book offers a significant attempt to remedy the situation
