Thomas Oord, whose Defining Love I briefly and sharply criticized here yesterday, writes to tell me that his forthcoming book will fill in some of the gaps I complained about in his book. He writes,
“You may like to know that the book was published in the same month and year as my other book, The Nature of Love: A Theology . The books were meant to be read together. Some of your criticisms of Defining Love – e.g., lack of Trinity ruminations – will be overcome or at least muted significantly if you read my other monograph. You still may not like what I write, but you’ll understand my theology much better after reading the other book.”
