This book offers an overview of Christian theology organized around
the twin themes of divine and human love. Love serves not only as
the book's organizational centre but as the central critical
principle deployed in the book to assess the appropriateness of
theological formulations. The book covers the traditional
theological topics - God, creation, sin, Christ, the Spirit,
salvation, the church, and eschatology - as well as basic questions
of theological method. It seeks to integrate a focus on love
throughout. I believe the book should prove of interest because,
while love is regularly canvassed as a dominant theme in Christian
thought, it has rarely been the focus of Christian theological
construction or a constraint on theological formulation. The book
seeks to suggest, chapter by chapter, how a given topic relates to
the broad theme of love. While I do not attempt to force-fit all of
the doctrinal themes the book explores into a single mould, I
believe it becomes readily apparent to the reader that love can
serve as a fruitful touchstone for theological analysis and
construction. The book is written in a way designed to make it
accessible to university students and educated laypersons-the body
of the text does not attempt in general to engage with arcane
scholarly debates. At the same time, it takes positions on
controverted scholarly issues, and the methodological approach
outlined at the beginning should make it of some interest to
academic theologians. Thus, it represents an attempt to communicate
with both academic and lay audiences about matters of theological
interest.
