{"product_id":"9781441212344","title":"Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement","description":"Some scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately selfish and that Christian virtues like self-sacrifice are a delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer understanding of the definition, recipients, and forms of love, he mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128132485360,"sku":"9781441212344","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441212344_p0.jpg?v=1763792496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441212344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
