Carson's fivefold distinction on the love of God is really helpful and illuminating. Some of the sections can a bit difficult to negotiate, but the first few chapters are worth the effort. Additionally, the principles he applies to this attribute of God can easily be extended to other attributes. Carson's work is a wonderful example of careful, biblical theology. In other words, typical D.A. Carson. ( )

Short discussion of the different ways the Bible talks about God's love. Not too academic but certainly thought-provoking. ( )
