Love of a God of Love develops another understanding of belief, where the moral\u003cbr\u003econcept of love is central. In this context, what is\u003cbr\u003edistinctive about the concept of love is that it is both the \"what\" and the \"how\" of belief: for\u003cbr\u003ethe one who loves a God of love, the concept of love characterizes both the content side and\u003cbr\u003ethe act side of the belief. In that respect, this understanding of religious belief makes it\u003cbr\u003epossible to avoid certain formalist difficulties, arising when the \"what\" and the \"how\" of\u003cbr\u003ebelief are sharply distinguished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Hugo Strandberg is Lecturer in the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepartment of Philosophy at Åbo Akademi University, Finland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis previous publications are Escaping My Responsibility: Investigations into the Nature of Morality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Peter Lang, 2009) and The Possibility of Discussion: Relativism, Truth and\u003cbr\u003eCriticism of Religious Beliefs (Ashgate, 2006).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 September 2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781441182135\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.56\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331531112588,"sku":"9781441182135","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_64b257ff-1944-44cd-9b57-3f760a16fbd2.jpg?v=1783597269","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781441182135","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
