A review by michaelesch
The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God by D. A. Carson
informative
inspiring
reflective
slow-paced
3.5
In this book DA Carson gives a logical argument for the complex nature of God's love. He creates 5 categories that help define God's love. He explains that if or when people become absolutist on these categories they end up running into issues with apparent contradictions in scripture, then use bad arguments for their position.
Carson makes really good argument and I particularly liked the chapter on intra-trinitarian love of God. It was insightful and helpful in gaining insight into the nature of God.
This book is very short, less than 100 pages. It felt more like an outline to a book, than a book. Each chapter is broken out into a header with sub headers with numbered points. Connecting the paragraphs between the sub headers were disjointed and had a difficult flow. I personally did not like that.
