Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement | Thomas Jay Oord

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately selfish and that Christian virtues life self-sacrifice are a delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer understanding of the definition, recipients and forms of love, he mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God.

Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement | Thomas Jay Oord

pick

I love these multi-disciplinary studies. So often we think of love in terms of feelings - obviously rightly - but I found this book useful as a catalyst for asking: what, exactly, is this gentle and not-so-gentle breeze that has so often completely blown me away? Turns out it‘s just as much to do with willing as it is with feeling. A great study, but obviously no substitute for the Real Thing. That‘d be like confusing the menu with the meal.

paulfrankspencer Seriously, a philosophical, scientific, and theological study of light... can't be more dead on.

Marvelous Light
