Degrees of Love and Forgiveness: An Integration Between Nikology, Polemology, and Misthology

The author's book, Degrees of Love and Forgiveness, demonstrates that God's love and forgiveness are offered in various degrees, capacities, and strata. Specifically, God's love is shown to be both conditional and unconditional, volitional yet emotional, infinite although finite. Advanced implications are considered. For example, If God loves everyone infinitely, why does He cast some into Hell? Since typical appeals to freewill responses fail to explain why God would allow sin and suffering, what other answers might be deemed superior? The discussion in the book is far from being merely theoretical, however. Practical ramifications are explored in the fields of Christian victory (nikology), spiritual warfare (polemology), and rewards (misthology). Implications for Christian counseling for those struggling with rejection are integrated throughout the book.
