REDEFINING CHRISTIAN LOVE IN A PLURALISTIC SOCIETY

In a world where liberty and justice for all are paramount, the role of Christian love often takes a backseat. But what if we were to take both Jesus Christ and Abraham Lincoln seriously, and strive to translate love of God and neighbour into every aspect of life, including law and politics? This is the thought-provoking question posed by Timothy Jackson in his latest work. By exploring the concept of agapic love, Jackson challenges readers to reexamine their priorities and consider the transformative power of love in shaping our society.

AGAPE AS A CIVIL VIRTUE

According to Jackson, agapic love of God and neighbour is the perilously neglected civil virtue of our time. By placing love at the forefront of our political principles and policies, we can create a more just and compassionate society. But what does this look like in practice? Jackson takes a deep dive into the implications of political agape, examining its potential applications in contentious issues such as the death penalty, same-sex marriage, and adoption. By exploring these complex topics through the lens of agapic love, Jackson offers a fresh perspective on how we can build a more loving and inclusive community.

TRANSLATING LOVE INTO ACTION

Jackson’s work is not just a philosophical exploration, but a call to action. By applying the principles of agapic love to real-world issues, we can begin to build a society that truly values love and compassion. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith and politics, and seeking to make a positive impact in their community. With its thought-provoking insights and practical applications, Jackson’s work is an essential resource for anyone looking to live out their faith in a meaningful and impactful way.
