They do so within the context of the interdisciplinary study of Godly Love, which examines the perceived experience of loving God, being loved by God, and thereby being motivated to engage in selfless service to others. This volume serves as an introduction to and a call for further research in this new field of study, offering ten methodological perspectives on the study of Godly Love written by leading social scientists and theologians.Drawing on the work of Douglas Porpora and others, the contributors contend that agnosticism is the appropriate methodological stance when religious experience is under the microscope. Godly Love does not force a theistic explanation on data, instead these essays show that it sensitizes researchers so that they can take seriously the faith and beliefs of those they study without the assumption that these theologies represent an incontestable truth. 606 $aGod$xWorship and love 606 $aGod$xLove 606 $aReligion and science 610 $aDouglas Porpora, agnosticism. 615 0$aGod$xWorship and love. 615 0$aGod$xLove. 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a231/.6 702 $aLee$b Matthew T.$f1972- 702 $aYong$b Amos 702 $aFauci$b Julia 702 $aAlexander$b Paul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807147003321 996 $aThe science and theology of Godly love$93951987 997 $aUNINA
