God is Love
Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, astounded the whole Christian world by publishing his first encyclical, 'God is Love', with these introductory remarks, "In a world where the name of God is sometimes associated with vengeance or even a duty of hatred and violence, this message is both timely and significant. For this reason, I wish in my first encyclical to speak of the love which God lavishes upon us and which we in turn must share with others". Perhaps no one could be more astonished and delighted on hearing this papal pronouncement than myself, for the Pope's first encyclical letter happened to be on the very same topic as my doctoral thesis, 'God is Love', entitled, 'Agape - A study of St. John's Theology of Love', submitted to the faculty of Biblical Theology of the Pontifical Urban University for the Propagation of the Faith, Vatican City, Rome.
