In this famous passage, St. John expresses the heart of the Christian faith and the essence of the Christian image of God. In the same verse, he also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: \"We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGod Is Love\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony Kelly, CSSR, takes this phrase as a concise and profound expression and unpacks it for thinking Christians today. He explores seven ideas that are necessarily implied in the love that God is-the Trinitarian terms, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the cross and resurrection as events within the paschal mystery; the church as the revelation of God's love being worked out in history; and finally, the ultimate hope for eternal life and heaven itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liturgical Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007813927152,"sku":"9780814680438","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814680438_p0.jpg?v=1763813768","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814680438","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
