Description
Published in Finland in 1983, Two Kinds of Love is the second of Tuomo Mannermaas provocative books offering a distinctly different interpretation of Martin Luthers theology. In Two Kinds of Love, Mannermaa unfolds Luthers understanding of love as the key to the reformers theology of grace. Human love orients toward that which is already good and beautifuland, as such, comes into being only through the prestige and glory of the loved one. In contrast, Gods love is a pure gift of grace, which makes possible our love for God and for one another.
