The Passionate God - Rosemary Haughton - Bog

"This is a book about the passion of God for human beings," writes Rosemary Haughton: "it is a phenomenology of divine love for, in, through and between people, which means the entire, mysterious and infinitely complex system of inter-relationships which is creation, and the Creator in creation. But most of all it is about that point at which the passion of God drove him to become incarnate." Incorporating the language of medieval Romance, along with history, theology, and experiential wisdom, Haughton offers a profound portrait of the love that animates the Christian story. "The Passionate God is a great work that proceeds from profound spiritual experience."--Bernard Lonergan, S.J., author of Insight: A Study of Human Understanding "The Passionate God is wisdom literature, the genre in which Rosemary Haughton excels."--Mary Collins, O.S.B., co-editor of The New Dictionary of Theology and Music and the Experience of God
