Mr. Katzen deftly leads the reader through an understanding of what love means, "...the desire and willingness to do well for others." It is self-empowering and the highest value in our lives. "If love is the supreme value, and if we are to know by our experience that love is real in our lives, then experiences with God must be in proportion to the quality of faith-activated love that we demonstrate in our lives", writes Mr. Katzen.
But what about freewill? "Though a proof of God based on logic would undermine freewill, personal experience of God through faith does not necessarily undermine freewill or our ability to know that our love is real". Halbert Katzen concludes, therefore, "By the force of freewill, faith forms the foundation of our relationship to each other and holds the hope of experiencing the love of God".
The Logic of Love is, this reviewer believes, a path to faith for the thinking person. Mr. Katzen presents a foundation of understanding that faith in God is not only a reasonable choice, but a logical outgrowth of love.
This reviewer recommends The Logic of Love to anyone without faith in God, or anyone who is uncertain. Halbert Katzen has given us a bright light that illuminates the path to spirituality through love...in a thoughtful and provocative way!
