(The Christian understanding of God) must be love-able

*

It is impossible to love an unloveable God

William Arkle.

In The Great Gift (1977)

Note: the world is full of unloveable Gods.

Alas, Christianity also is full of unloveable Gods: that cannot be right.

But why should it be so?

Because too many Christian theologians have been too willing to imperil, or even sacrifice, the love-ability of God on the altar of His power.
