Love Divine Provides A Systematic Account Of The Deep And Rich Love That God Has For Humans. While The Associated Theological Territory Is Vast, The Objective Is To Contend For A Unified Paradigm Regarding Fundamental Issues Pertaining To The God Of Love Who Deigns To Share His Life Of Love With Any Human Willing To Receive It. Realizing This Objective Includes Clarifying And Defending Specific Conclusions Concerning How The Doctrine Of Divine Love Should Be Approached, What God's Love Is, What Role Love Plays In Motivating God's Creation And Subsequent Governance Of Humans, How God's Love Of Humans Factors Into His Emotional Life, Which Humans It Is That God Loves In A Saving Manner, What The Punitive Wrath Of God Is And How It Relates To God's Love For Humans, And How It Might Be Possible For God To Share The Intra-trinitarian Life Of Love With Human Beings. As The Book Unfolds, The Chapters Interlock And Build Upon One Another In The Effort To Trace Nodal Issues Related To God's Love As It Begins In Him And Then Spills Out In The Creation, Redemption, And Glorification Of Humanity-a Kind Of Exitus-reditus Structure That Is Driven By The Unyielding Love Of God.
This work investigates the nature and scope of divine love, seeking to establish a unified theological paradigm for understanding how God shares His life with humanity. Jordan Wessling provides a systematic account of God's love, drawing upon historical and contemporary theological discourse to defend specific conclusions regarding the intersection of divine emotion, creation, and salvation. The text utilizes an exitus-reditus framework to trace the movement of love from the Trinity into the creation, redemption, and eventual glorification of human beings.
