Rezensionen
"Lindberg's readable and enjoyable history is framed by an account of eros and agape." (International Journal of Systematic Theology, 19 June 2015)"Overall, Lindberg offers a significant work, one which will be helpful for pastors, seminarians, graduate students, and interested lay people." (Lutheran Quaterly, 2011)

"Lindberg has written an excellent book that deserves a wide readership. Its vastness of scope is breathtaking and its selection of topics comprehensive.." (Reviews in Religion & Theology, 2010)

"Any scholar or general reader who wishes to grapple with the nature of love may find this book and its bibliography a fine place to start." (The Catholic Historical Review, January 2009)

"A wonderful overview of the ways in which the theme of love has been presented and reflected upon from biblical times to the late 20th century." (Church Times, November 2008)"This book is doubly impressive, both for covering so much materialso expertly in such a short space and also for doing it with suchelegant prose."
-Paul Rorem, Princeton Theological Seminary

"I didn't think there was anything new to say about'love', but Professor Lindberg's history of loveis wonderfully refreshing. He draws judiciously on a vast andvaried treasure of fact and theory - including erotic,neighbourly and religious love - to portray a dynamic,multi-dimensional phenomenon; ever changing and reaching out fornew connections in all kinds of ways."
-Trond Skard Dokka, University of Norway…mehr
