• PrologueChapter 1: To See and to BeholdChapter 2: Beings and ObjectsChapter 3: World of BeingChapter 4: The Marvel of ManChapter 5: The Inner-IChapter 6: To Love and to KnowChapter 7: To Be or Not to BeEpilogueAppendix: Two Illustrations of Christian Humanism

In this simple but insightful and rich book, Lloyd Sandelands does not offer a new reading of the importance of love and its role in Christian understandings of being—and thereby relationships with others—but a concise and important recourse back to the basics of humanism and its grounding in Christian tradition. . . . Sandelands’s book, although brief, is profound. It recaptures an old spirit of Christianity that needs to be awakened in the twenty-first century: (Christian) humanism. In that awakening, joyful solidarity, the common good, and common service, united in and through love, can be manifested. After all, Jesus himself said not to love humanity in the abstract, but to “love your neighbor as yourself.” True love begins with that which is in front of you.
