This book presents a rich, contemporary exploration of love aimed at encouraging civility, generosity, and humane ways of living. It surveys major twentieth-century thinkers, each offering a distinct lens on different forms of love, and arranges their ideas into three clear sections.
Part One introduces different kinds of love through the work of Erich Fromm, C.S. Lewis, Rosemary Haughton, and Rollo May, showing how people learn to love and where they often go astray. Part Two turns to romantic love in the Western tradition, tracing its roots and distortions with the help of Scott Peck, Robert Johnson, and Vladimir Soloviev. Part Three widens the focus to love of humanity, the healing of inner obstacles, and mystical understandings of love?s ultimate purpose, drawing on Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chödrön, Desmond Tutu, and William Chittick on compassion, forgiveness, and religious perspectives on love.
The book closes with Bernard Lonergan?s reflections on love of God and neighbor as central to being human. Brief chapters with discussion questions make it suitable for thoughtful individual readers and group study alike.
