Theophilus or Love Divine

by Pierre Du Moulin

It explores the concept of divine love and its various manifestations in the Christian faith. Originally published in 1621, "Theophilus or Love Divine" is divided into four parts, each delving deeper into the subject of divine love. Du Moulin draws on scripture, ancient philosophers, and contemporary theologians to craft a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the topic. He examines God's love for humanity, humanity's love for God, and the ways in which individuals can cultivate a deeper understanding of love in their own lives. This book is an important work in the history of Reformed theology and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about love, faith, and spirituality. Du Moulin's writing is both scholarly and accessible, making it an excellent resource for theologians, pastors, and laypeople alike. In addition to its theological significance, "Theophilus or Love Divine" is also notable for its role in the broader cultural context of 17th century Europe. It was written at a time of great religious and political upheaval, and its themes of love, tolerance, and compassion resonate with contemporary debates about diversity and inclusion. Overall, "Theophilus or Love Divine" is a timeless work of theological inquiry that continues to inspire and challenge readers to this day. Whether read for personal enrichment or academic study, it is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the nature of love in the Christian tradition.
