| Description: |
This book covers such a wide range of perspectives on Christian reflection on the meaning, and experience of love, loving, and being loved. It allows the reader to engage directly with the thought and experience of some of the greatest Christian minds on the topic of love. Beginning of course with the Bible, Brady examines the key writings and thinkers on the nature of Christian love: St. Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux, Hadewich, Julian of Norwich,Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, Soren Kierkegaard, and others. In addition, Brady devotes chapters to several 20th century figures whose lives seemingly embodied Christian love: Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pope John Paul II. Finally, Christian Love addresses contemporary deliberations over the meaning of love with an analysis of the modern writings of Martin D'Arcy, Reinhold Niebuhr, Jules Toner, Gustavo Gutierrez, Gene Outka, Margaret Farley, Edward Vacek, and Don Browning. In the concluding chapter, Brady offers his own insightful and introspective understanding of the substance of Christian love.
As a beautiful contemplative companion to one's own spiritual understanding, or as a thoughtful and meaningful gift, Christian Love is in every sense a treasure to behold, read, and share with those you love. |
