Love, Divine and Human: Contemporary Essays in Systematic and Philosophical Theology

This volume draws together a range of theologians and philosophers to contribute to current debates within the theology of love and to propose new avenues for future research. The essays are written from the perspective of or in conversation with analytic theology. Featuring contributions from well-known scholars (Crisp, McCord Adams, Rea, Vanhoozer, Yadav, Mullins) these chapters deal with a rich variety of issues including divine transcendence and its methodological bearing on the doctrine of divine love, the nature and scope of divine love, the interrelation between God's love and wrath, the plausibility of an impassible God of love, the application of various conceptions of divine love to the problem of divine hiddenness, love and ethics, love and human free will, amongst others.

The volume provides cutting-edge studies on the theology of love that will advance discussion on this most important issue.
