- Synopsis
- 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.
