In this video I have a go at answering the question: “Is love, love”? I begin by introducing the phrase as it is used in present public discourse, before contrasting the issue in the following way:
(1) The Cultural Logic of Love, and
(2) The Christian Alternative
There is a way to argue for diversity and inclusion, “love is love” is not it. “God is love” (1 John 4:8f) which means God not only defines “love” for us in a coherent manner, but more profoundly models for us what it looks like in the person of Jesus.
