The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God by D. A. Carson
UPC: 9781581341263
Overview
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God by D. A. Carson is a concise yet profound exploration of one of the most misunderstood aspects of God’s character: His love. In this 96-page volume, Carson examines how pop culture’s sentimentalization of God’s love has distorted the biblical understanding of this essential doctrine. Addressing misconceptions and challenging clichés like "God hates the sin but loves the sinner," Carson provides a balanced, Scripture-grounded perspective on the multifaceted nature of divine love. By connecting God's love to His sovereignty, holiness, and wrath, Carson offers a richer, more comprehensive understanding of who God is and why He loves as He does.
