{"product_id":"defining-love-thomas-jay-oord-9781587432576","title":"Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement","description":"Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately selfish and that Christian virtues like self-sacrifice are a delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer understanding of the definition, recipients, and forms of love, he mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Jay Oord\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587432579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587432576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.58w x 0.62d","brand":"Thomas Jay Oord","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058604863743,"sku":"9781587432576","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e688c862-a6d5-4b63-b6ed-186bc08a7385.jpg?v=1685053510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defining-love-thomas-jay-oord-9781587432576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
