Contents:
Conflicting models of divine love -- Toward addressing the conflict: a canonical approach -- Agape versus eros, the biblical semantics of divine love -- The volitional aspect of divine love -- The evaluative aspect of divine love -- The emotional aspect of divine love -- The foreconditional aspect of divine love -- The reciprocal aspect of divine love -- Who is the God who loves?
Summary: In The Love of God, John Peckham offers a comprehensive canonical interpretation of divine love in dialogue with, and at times in contrast to, both classical and process theism. God's love, he argues, is freely willed, evaluative, emotional and reciprocal, given before but not without conditions. According to Peckham's reading of Scripture, the God who loves the world is both perfect and passible, both self-sufficient and desirous of reciprocal relationships with each person, so that "whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
