Beskrivning
Traditionally, religious belief has in the philosophy of religion been understood along more orless epistemological lines. Love of a God of Love develops another understanding of belief, where the moralconcept of love is central. In this context, what isdistinctive about the concept of love is that it is both the "what" and the "how" of belief: forthe one who loves a God of love, the concept of love characterizes both the content side andthe act side of the belief. In that respect, this understanding of religious belief makes itpossible to avoid certain formalist difficulties, arising when the "what" and the "how" ofbelief are sharply distinguished.

Recensioner i media

"Religious belief concerns a relation of love and this love is a love of a God of love. Through the theme of love Strandberg works out a philosophy of religion which does not understand religious belief hypothetically and evidentially. Faith is a relation and an existential endeavor primarily involving oneself. Strandberg is an original and serious thinker. His book presents an important alternative in the ongoing reflection upon what belief is and even more so, how to believe. I recommend this book to all those who appreciate perceptive and engaging thinking." -- Catharina Stenqvist, Professor of Religion and Philosophy, Lund University, Sweden
