The love of God is arguably the most central doctrine of the
Christian faith, and yet, remarkably, the subject of God's love has
not received the attention it deserves. In Nothing Greater, Nothing
Better an international team of distinguished theologians and
biblical scholars admirably fills this need, offering clear and
inspiring discussion of the nature of God's love and its
implications for the Christian life. Kevin J. Vanhoozer begins the
book by outlining the proper theological context of and main issues
involved in meaningful talk about God's love today. Gary D. Badcock
revisits the distinction between agape and eros, crafting a fresh
understanding of these terms in relation to God's loving act in
Christ. Geoffrey Grogan reviews the biblical evidence that ought to
guide our thinking about God's love. Lewis Ayres examines
Augustine's view of God's love as expressed in his commentary on 1
John and in his profound work on the Trinity. Trevor Hart examines
the perils of using human language to speak of God, including
attempts to fully grasp the concept of God's love. Alan J. Torrance
looks for insight in the great Johannine assertion "God is love."
Tony Lane queries the possibility of thinking about God's wrath and
God's love together. Paul Helm asks whether God can love the world,
turning, provocatively, to natural theology for an answer. David
Fergusson takes up the vital eschatological concern: will the love
of God ultimately triumph? The book closes with a sermon on Hosea
11 by Roy Clements that moves reflection on God's love from
dogmatics to doxology. Though exploring the subject of God's love
from many angles, these chapters are united in their understanding
that it is not human love per se, but rather the love of the man
Jesus -- representative both of God and of an authentic humanity --
that is the ultimate criterion for thinking about the love of God.
Readers will find this volume both thought-provoking and
spiritually uplifting.
