Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Though rooted in a well-known New Testament passage, the identification of God with love has proved to be a contentious issue for theologians throughout the history of Christian theology. This is due to the various ways that love can be understood within creation and the difficulty of attributing much of this to the divine nature. In this new publication of his doctoral dissertation, Cameron B. Crickenberger marshals the insights of theologians including Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Ferdinand Ulrich, and Klaus Hemmerle to develop a constructive way of integrating the various aspects of love that often conflict with each other when attributed to the trinitarian God. Interrelationality with God, the paradox of Unity and Plurality, the nature and role of kenotic love in the divine life, and the profound and underappreciated importance of final causality in our theological language, this volume attempts to advance the protracted theological conversations between various camps in order to open new avenues of theological reflection on the Holy Trinity.
