| Riepilogo: | Is revolutionary love a narrowly Christian category inappropriate as a theme for the American Academy of Religion? This paper argues no.

By demonstrating that revolutionary love is no merely Christian category, this paper suggests that the theme is not only appropriate for a body such as the AAR but can also help those groups within the AAR that are interested in normative conversation across religious boundaries to have those conversations. |
