If worldly definitions and interpretations of "love" have left you confused, uncomfortable, and unsatisfied, this is the book you've been searching for.
The fields of psychology, sociology, biology, economics, politics, and even mathematics are all vying for authority as they attempt to enforce their own definitions of "love" as truth.
But what does the Bible say?
Pastor Borg answers the question "What is love?" using the ultimate Truth as his source material (while throwing in a few entertaining anecdotes and quotes from dead guys, which we all know are very important if you want people to take you seriously).
What Is Love? is an easy yet thought-provoking read. The church has been waiting for a clear, biblical explanation with immediately actionable and practical instructions - this is it!
This book is suitable not only for the men of the church, but for Sunday school classes, church leadership trainings, small group studies, and our youth as they learn to navigate what it means to be a Christian in a world that wants to define "love" in every way possible except for what the scriptures teach.
There is nothing weak or wimpy about the love described by Solomon as “flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD” (Song of Songs 8:6). It is, as Pastor Borg tells us, "a fire of supernatural power kindled by God himself and it burns and melts with unquenchable intensity."
If all other worldly definitions and interpretations of "love" have left you confused, uncomfortable, and unsatisfied, this is the book you've been searching for.
