Beskrivning

Nicholas Wolterstorff's distinguished career in philosophical theology continues to bear fruit, and here he shares his insight on the concepts of justice, art and liturgy. Although often discussed in isolation, as Wolterstorff masterfully demonstrates, they are bound together by divine love, and follow a common logical framework. Whether oriented towards the dignity of the other, the desire for creative engagement, or the infinite goodness of the creator, in every case unitive love is at their core. Wolterstorff explores all of this with consummate elegance, ultimately showing how each of the three topics find their fulfilment in the worship of God and in the affirmation of the image of God in each of us.

Recensioner i media

Some thinkers labor in a particular furrow, hand to the plough, making progress on an area or line of argument over the course of time. Others, like Nicholas Wolterstorff, manage to contribute to the propagation of several different intellectual crops in different fields. In this work, he brings together essays in areas in which he has made signal contributions individually: on the notion of justice, on art and aesthetics, and on liturgy - binding them together with love. It is an important collection of his work, and a valuable contribution to the cross-fertilization of these distinct areas, which he has done so much to help flourish.
