Description
xLove as you've never encountered it before-from one of the twentieth century's greatest minds and martyrs. Pavel Florensky was an Orthodox priest, brilliant mathematician, and philosopher who died in Stalin's Gulag for refusing to renounce his faith. Before his execution in 1937, he wrote what many consider the most profound Christian theology of love ever produced: a vision where love is not merely emotion or choice, but the fundamental structure of reality itself. This comprehensive study brings Florensky's revolutionary ethics to English-speaking readers for the first time. Discover why:
- Friendship may be higher than romantic love-and what that means for how we live - Marriage requires death to the autonomous self-the path to true intimacy - Jealousy can be holy-when exclusivity serves rather than betrays love - Suffering in relationships can be redemptive-without romanticizing abuse - The Church is ontological reality, not voluntary association - Love creates bonds as real as atoms-consubstantial unity that transcends death From the Trinity's eternal communion to the messy reality of family conflict, from mystical friendship to martyrdom in the labor camps, this book traces love through all its dimensions-theological, philosophical, and intensely practical. Whether you're struggling in marriage, grieving a loss, navigating difficult family dynamics, or simply asking what makes life meaningful, Florensky offers a vision that challenges both modern cynicism and sentimental romanticism. Love is not what you think. It's far more demanding-and far more glorious. Includes comprehensive appendices on Florensky's masterwork The Pillar and Ground of Truth, key philosophical terms, chronology, and extensive bibliography. Dr. Cor P.M. van Houte studied philosophy and wrote extensively on Pavel Florensky.
