Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Duke Divinity School Bulletin, Vol. 26
First, Christianity believes and affirms that the very nature oi-god is love. Though He is also characterized by wisdom and power and justice, his essential characteristic is love.
Second, man's proper relationship to God is love. Man is to love God with the whole self. He is to be related to God not in craven fear or unwilling obedience, but in positive, trusting love.
And third, man is to be related to his fellow man in terms of love: Suspicion, fear, distrust, hostility, enmity, hatred - these are not the proper grounds of human relations, says Christianity. The proper ground of human relations is mutual love. All of this, adds upi'to' something that is new and unique and radical in the history of man kind.
