Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, 2006, Vol. 27Because love is a familiar human experience, we should have little difficulty in understanding the nature of God whom Christians have always described as love itself, the fulfillment of the Torah, the prophets, and the wisdom of the ages. Thus, we should be able to discern some measure of commonality between our limited experience of love and the unconditional love of God. My philosophical understanding of love is derived from the writings of Paul Tillich, who claimed that love is the drive toward the unity of the separated. We see the evidence for that definition in every experience of love. Love unites individuals with other individuals, and it unites persons with nature, causes, groups, and even objects. In other words, love implies relationship.Love is the moving force of life itself - the drive to unite everything that should be united. Thus, the loss of love is the loss of life itself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
