Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Love Fulfilling The Law: Four Stories On The First And Great Commandment is a book written by Henry Gladwyn Jebb in 1870. The book is a collection of four stories that explore the theme of love and how it fulfills the first and great commandment. The stories are set in different times and places, but all revolve around the idea that love is the key to fulfilling the law.The first story is set in ancient Rome and tells the tale of a young Christian woman who is persecuted for her beliefs. Despite the challenges she faces, she remains steadfast in her love for God and her fellow man.The second story takes place in medieval England and follows the journey of a young knight who learns about the power of love through his encounters with a wise old man and a beautiful maiden.The third story is set in colonial America and tells the story of a young Quaker woman who is forced to choose between her love for a non-Quaker man and her faith.The final story is set in modern times and explores the theme of love and forgiveness through the story of a man who must confront his past mistakes and learn to love himself before he can truly love others.Throughout the book, Jebb emphasizes the importance of love in fulfilling the first and great commandment, which is to love God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself. The stories are engaging and thought-provoking, and the book is a timeless exploration of the power of love to transform lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
