Blood and Fire: Godly Love in a Pentecostal Emerging ChurchNYU Press, 1 nov. 2008 - 304 pagini What does it mean to live out the theology presented in the Great Commandment to “love God above all and to love your neighbor as yourself”? In Blood and Fire, Poloma and Hood explore how understandings of godly love function to empower believers. Though godly love may begin as a perceived relationship between God and a person, it is made manifest as social behavior among people. |
