Love as the Presence of God in Humanity explores the profound theological anthropology of human love in Western Christian thought, tracing its development from Saint Augustine to the twelfth-century scholastic tradition, where love was understood as both divine and a revelation of God.The book offers a deep understanding of how theologians of the time went even so far as to seeing in the human love a revelation of the divine being. They referred to biblical texts, but also to a long tradition among the early Western theologians, primarily Augustine, but also John Cassian, Candidus of Fulda, and Paschasius Radbertus. Offering detailed analysis of key figures, texts, and theological concepts, the author provides valuable insights into the interplay between human and divine love in medieval thought.Ideal for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of theology, medieval studies, and Christian anthropology, this book is particularly suited for those interested in Augustine’s influence, the twelfth-century intellectual culture, and the historical development of theological perspectives on love.
