God Speaks His Love
Ebook
God Speaks His Love is an innovative Bible study based on the theme of God's love. This book invites readers into a deeper encounter with God's actions, which create and redeem human beings for loving relationships. Each chapter follows a simple structure designed to maximize the reader's encounter with the Scriptures. Chapters begin with an informational preview about select biblical texts. Next, reading questions help readers focus on a few ideas while reading the Scriptures. Then, each chapter presents and explains three major topics covered in the selections. Chapters conclude with a set of reflection questions helpful for group discussion or further personal engagement. God Speaks His Love is, in part, a response to modern claims that God stays separate from the world or remains silent in our lives. In the previews and topical sections of each chapter, readers are introduced to biblical, historical, and theological information which challenge such ideas. This book explores the ways the Bible presents God's loving and healing actions as bringing human life to fulfillment.
“Daniel Lloyd’s treatment of salvation history in God Speaks His Love is fundamentally kerygmatic and, as such, cuts right to the heart of the faith. Being strongly rooted in the church’s tradition, it is a wonderful representation of the Catholic approach to sacred Scripture. Lloyd’s approach is both systematic and accessible. God Speaks His Love is a gift to the church that will prove to be valuable to a variety of audiences from academic to catechetical settings.”
—Michael J. Martocchio, secretary of evangelization, Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston
“Infused with deftly blended biblical insight and thoughtful questions, God Speaks His Love invites all readers on a guided walk through the Scriptures, wonderfully highlighting where God’s love for humanity throughout history is easily seen and understood.”
—Brian K. Justice, permanent deacon, Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston
“There are innumerable threads in the tapestry of Scripture. When Jesus forever linked loving God and neighbor as the two greatest commandments, he showed us that love was the one thread that held it all together. In this short book, Daniel Lloyd follows where Jesus pointed, helping the reader to track this thread as a theme through Scripture—to see how the Bible’s various texts together make one great vision of God’s love.”
—Michael Anthony Novak, Cardinal Newman High School
“Here is a modern introduction to hearing God’s voice within the Scriptures from a man steeped in ancient wisdom. Daniel Lloyd offers true insight into reading the sacred text well based on his own study of the Bible and the ancient tradition of Christianity.”
—Thomas L. Humphries Jr., associate professor of philosophy, theology, and religion, Saint Leo University
