Onclassical accounts, God seems a poor model for human beings: an immutable and impassable being seems incapable of the kind of episodic emotion(sympathy,empathy)thatseemsrequiredfor thebest sorts of human love. Models more conducive to human love, on the other hand, are often rejected because they seem to limit God’s power and glory. This Element looks first at God and then divine love within the Abrahamic traditions—Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It will then turn to love and the problem of hell, which is argued as primarily a problem for Christians. The author discusses the kind of love each tradition asks ofhumansandwonders,givenrecentworkintherelevant cognitive and social sciences, if such love is even humanly possible.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessGodIslamLoveChristianityJudaismPrayerFearForgivenessEmpathyBook10.1017/9781009269131N/AWOS:001197884800001
