Description
Previous church book. Dust jacket not included. Cover has normal wear. Pages are clean. Binding is secure.
This copy of Anders Nygren’s seminal work, “Essence of Christianity,” bears the marks of its previous life as a church library book, yet remains in good condition for collectors and readers alike. Published in the mid-20th century, Nygren’s theological treatise challenged the prevailing notions of Christian love, offering a provocative reinterpretation of agape and eros that sparked intense debates within Christian academia. Nygren, a Swedish Lutheran bishop and influential theologian, drew upon his deep knowledge of Greek philosophy and the Church Fathers to present a radically new perspective on the nature of divine and human love. This copy, though lacking its original dust jacket, offers a window into the intellectual ferment of the era, when scholars grappled with the essence of Christian doctrine and its implications for modern society. Despite its institutional origins, the clean pages and secure binding make this an inviting addition to any collection focused on 20th-century Christian thought or the ongoing discourse surrounding the foundations of faith.
