In doing away with trivialities and cliches, this work gets to the heart of this all-important doctrine from an unflinching evangelical perspective. Yet it does so without losing its personal emphasis: for in understanding more of the comprehensive nature of God's love as declared in His Word, you will come to understand God and His unending love for you more completely, 93 pages.

This is one of the greatest books that I have ever read. Biblical, exegetical, and theologically precise, Carson (being one of the few contemporary theologians who are truly dominated by the Word of God) writes a short but thorough treatise on the doctrine of the love of God. I wish every Christian I know would read this book. It is one of the most important books to be written in the past century.

Excellent short overview of the doctrine of the Love of God. A compilation of lectures given by Carson. A very valuable explanation of the various aspects of the Love of God found in Scripture. Not comprehensive, but comprehendable and insightful. Useful for pastors and preachers.

Those who have read C.S. Lewis' "The Four Loves" remember how enlightening it was to contemplate that there are different types of human love. D.A. Carson is equally illuminating about the different facets or "types" of God's love. A very worthwhile read.

Although it is short, this is still the best book I have come across dealing with the love of God. I strongly recommend reading it.
