"Rejecting the 'formalist' distinction between the 'what' and the 'how' of believing, Hugo Strandberg offers a lucid and pathbreaking account of belief in God as love of a God of love. If, as Strandberg argues, the task of philosophy is to bring its audience into a new relationship with its subject matter-a relation of understanding, in which moral and religious demands cannot be evaded-it is a mark of his success that his study has the effect of rendering its subject not merely intelligible but compelling. Love of a God of Love is a major achievement of philosophical thinking." -- Richard Amesbury, Associate Professor of Ethics, Claremont School of Theology, USA, 'When read as a thought-experiment, this book is provocative, even if not completely persuasive. Moreover, it offers a compelling defence of divine personalism that is worth taking seriously. Strandberg's ideas warrant consideration, and this book will yield a lively debate in the literature.'-Choice Magazine, "Rejecting the 'formalist' distinction between the 'what' and the 'how' of believing, Hugo Strandberg offers a lucid and pathbreaking account of belief in God as love of a God of love.

Through the theme of love Strandberg works out a philosophy of religion which does not understand religious belief hypothetically and evidentially.

His book presents an important alternative in the ongoing reflection upon what belief is and even more so, how to believe. I recommend this book to all those who appreciate perceptive and engaging thinking., Topics are discussed with special attention to linguistic philosophical elucidation and cover most bases currently of interest in analytic Christian philosophy of religion. Strandberg goes into great detail and with astute remarks at times is able to tease out what he considers the implications of concepts and ideas presented as properly basic to the field.

Synopsis
Argues for an understanding of religious belief as love of a God of love, thereby over-turning traditional epistemologically based conceptions of religious belief., Traditionally, religious belief has in the philosophy of religion been understood along more orless epistemological lines. Love of a God of Love develops another understanding of belief, where the moralconcept of love is central. In this context, what isdistinctive about the concept of love is that it is both the "what" and the "how" of belief: forthe one who loves a God of love, the concept of love characterizes both the content side andthe act side of the belief. In that respect, this understanding of religious belief makes itpossible to avoid certain formalist difficulties, arising when the "what" and the "how" ofbelief are sharply distinguished.
