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.

The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God 5 5 5 5

Excellent! A must read for anyone wanting an understanding of God's love. Easy to read but pack with biblical truth that is often overlooked today. April 12, 2010

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. January 24, 2007

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. November 28, 2006

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. November 24, 2005
