When we hear about God, we has seized with reverent attitudes, a feeling of devotion invades us, and emotion speaks loudly. “My little children’s let us not love by word or tongue, but by work and in truth.” (1 John 3:18). Love transcends the world of ideas, subjectivism, and idealism and claims its rightful place as action. Where I saw feeling, after reading this book, I see behavior. The fog of subjectivism permeated by the idealism that religious conceptions prescribe through the term ‘love’ is quickly replaced by a grave and objective imperative, which coats the theme with a unique new meaning. While reading this work, the vision of love according to the romanticism and humanism that is so dear to us is quickly, replace by a conception of love that takes on aristocratic and noble airs, a common scenario in the context in which the Scriptures has produced. By comparing some biblical passages, the author leads the reader to an intriguing investigation and, at times, even generates a certain suspense that culminates in a surprising conclusion about the true meaning of such common biblical terms, such as love and hate. The way he approaches complex biblical passages is peculiar and interprets outside of trivial hermeneutics.
