Thomas Oord
A masterpiece from the premier theologian of love!
A strong case can be made that love is the core of Christian faith. And yet, Christians often fail to give love center stage in biblical studies and theology. And, most fail to explain what they mean by love. Why is this? Thomas Jay Oord explores this question and offers groundbreaking answers. Oord addresses leading Christian thinkers today and of yesteryear. He explains biblical forms of love, such as agape, philia, hesed, and ahavah. We should understand love’s meaning as uniform, he says, but its expressions are pluriform.
Widely regarded as the world's foremost theologian of love, Thomas Jay Oord tackles our biggest puzzles about the nature and meaning of love, divinity, and creaturely. His proposals are novel. They align with love described in Scripture and expressed in everyday experience. Oord also provides radical and yet persuasive answers to questions about evil, hell, the Big Bang, divine violence, divine abandonment, and more. Pluriform Love changes the landscape of Christian love studies.

Of significance is Oord's ability to provide God's essential love as a through line for dealing with theodicy. Clarifying God's creative nature, and the lack of biblical support for God's action of so-called, "creation from nothing", Oord can begin to bring a response to the question of God's assumed culpability with evil.
