Science of Love: The Wisdom of Well-Being examines the varied dimensions of love, and illuminates the new field of scholarship, the love-science symbiosis, for both scholars and general readers. It looks at religious, ethical, and philosophical issues, such as virtue, creation ex nihilo, progress, divine action, agape, values, religious practices, pacifism, sexuality, friendship, freedom, and marriage. It examines how these issues affect the ways in which people understand God, each other, and the world in which we live. Exploring these connections inspires creative hypotheses for how we might better comprehend both the sacred and the scientific.
