| Description: |
Halik explores the relationship between faith and love through the Augustinian phrase amo volo ut sis ("I love you: I want you to be"), presenting it as central to contemporary Christian practice. Because God is not an object, he argues, love of God must be lived out through love of other people.
Halik urges Christians to resist withdrawal from secular modernity and instead engage nonbelievers through humility, service, and solidarity. He criticizes the modern fixation on material success and contends that love must move beyond a private virtue to become a public, social commitment. Considering the future of Western society, Halik proposes that Christians see themselves as partners rather than opponents of nonbelievers.
Written in an accessible yet thoughtful style, I Want You to Be appeals to both general and scholarly readers interested in faith, secularism, and modern life. |
