This slim volume started life as Don Carson's W.H. Griffith Thomas Lectures at Dallas Theological Seminary in 1998.

The first chapter outlines both cultural and theological reasons as to why God's love is not as straightforward as many Christians would like to believe. There are five ways the Bible speaks of God's love - his intra-Trinitarian love, his providential love, his love for the world, his electing love and his conditional love (John 15.9).
