Human dependence on God's initiative indicates that the Trinitarian God of love is knowable only through attention to how God's self-revelation \u003cb\u003etransforms and saves us\u003c\/b\u003e. Therefore, to see God, one seeks to mark love's formative activity within the heart. Jean-Luc Marion's rigorous description of the gift of love offers to Augustine's theology a phenomenological texture by which the Trinitarian love given in revelation might be made incarnate in one's life. \u003cb\u003eThe Gift of Love\u003c\/b\u003e presents a reason for hope that while coming to know \"the Trinity that God is\" might be impossible for human beings, it is made possible by God's antecedent gift of love, given in the missions Son and Holy Spirit, and iconically received in the particularity of ones own love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Staron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150642340X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506423401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Andrew Staron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795378917631,"sku":"9781506423401","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2be81ef-e030-4c14-9e1e-5b7cdda349fb.jpg?v=1744947419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gift-of-love-andrew-staron-9781506423401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
