Forms of the Implicit Love of God
Formes de l'Amour implicite de Dieu
Before God reveals himself, he can be loved implicitly through love of neighbour, love of the beauty of the world, love of religious practices and friendship. This essay grounds her openness to those who, outside the Church, already live these forms of love.
