Call for Papers ‘Logic of Love’

Call for Papers ‘Logic of Love’

‘God is love’ is a central Biblical notion, but what does this 'love' mean and how does it function?

Power often is a zero-sum game: the powerful wins what the powerless loses. Love, however, evokes more love; while a lack of love results in a loss for all. In a theological sense, love is both based in the beautiful order of creation, and fruit of the Spirit who renews people eschatologically.
