Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately
selfish and that Christian virtues like 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.
