Christian Love is a history of doctrines, love book by Bernard V. Brady.
About this book
"Bernard Brady covers with clarity the breadth and depth of discussions on Christian love from the Bible to contemporary experience to create this - a survey of how Christians through the ages have understood love." "Beginning of course with the Bible, Brady examines the key writings and thinkers on the nature of Christian love: St. Augustine; mystics, such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Hadewich, and Julian of Norwich; the great tradition and literature of courtly love; Thomas Aquinas; Martin Luther, Soren Kierkegaard; and others. In addition, Brady devotes chapters to several twentieth-century figures whose lives seemingly embodied Christian love; Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pope John Paul II. Finally, Christian Love addresses contemporary deliberations over the meaning of "love" with an analysis of the modern writings of Martin D'Arcy, Reinhold Niebuhr, Jules Toner, Gustavo Gutierrez, Gene Outka, Margaret Farley, Edward Vacek, and Don Browning."--BOOK JACKET.
