Divine Love as the Basis for Morality - Interview with Adam Johnson
C.S. Lewis famously wrote how it was the argument from morality that set him on a path of abandoning atheism and believing in God. The fact that moral values and duties really exist is difficult to square with an atheistic understanding of the world. If there are at least some moral precepts that stand above all humanity, where do they come from and how can we explain why we are beholden to them? Here, Lenny interviews Dr. Adam Johnson on his new book Divine Love Theory which argues that the best explanation for the reality of moral obligations flows not simply from God's nature, but specifically from the love relationship that the three members of the Trinity share.
