| Summary: | Resumé In this paper the conception of Christian love to neighboursand fellow human beings is analyzed within the sermons of the Danishtheologian N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872). In his sermons Grundtvigpersistently expresses the importance of the value of fatherliness. TheChristian person should thus act in a strongly fatherly way towards hisneighbour. Grundtvig criticizes popular ideas of his own time of the natureand essence of Christian neighbour love, and he distinguishessharply between a true and a false sort of Christian love. According tothe sermons of Grundtvig, only a responsible and fatherly, or even patriarchal,way of loving can be a true form of Christian love. These findingsbreak with quite a few common assumptions in the research literature. |
