These homilies, lectures, and essays vigorously champion the author’s conviction that it is reasonable to believe in a God of ‘pure unbounded love’ and, also, that the best religion is a reasonable religion. That is, ‘the God of Love’ is ‘the God of Reason’ and, as a seventeenth-century Cambridge preacher put it, ‘If you would be religious, be rational in your religion.’
Thus, these essays challenge both the New Atheists and Fundamentalists, who are twins like Tweedledum and Tweedledee. And they aim, positively, to unpack the meaning and implications of Jesus’ dictum: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’
