From Preface to Haddad's Leaving Dirt Place

Love is an inescapable mystery that has stymied many of the best of philosophers, poets, and prophets. Yet love finds its answer--philosophically, theologically, and existentially--in the person of a crucified Jew, who, two thousand years ago, manifested the greatest love of all and who gathers all other loves under his suffering arms. Douglas Groothuis
