The Imaginative Conservative: The Unquenchable Fire of Love
The essay explores the symbolism of love in Christianity, contrasting the Jewish depiction of God's love as unquenchable fire with the Christian interpretation of this love as embodied in the Risen Christ. It emphasizes the transformative power of divine love, particularly as experienced during Pentecost, and its continuous availability to humanity.
The author argues that while God's love is infinite, it requires a willing heart to be received and reciprocated. The essay underscores the importance of prayer as a means to open oneself to this divine love, which can enrich human relationships and lead to spiritual fulfillment.
