Voluntarism and Love: Grant and Nygren on Agapé and Eros

This paper examines the concept of sovereign agency in Nygren's agapic theology. I argue that Nygren's theology is structured by a voluntarist-inspired idealization of sovereignty that in effect precludes a viable agapic theory of alterity. "Otherness" plays no essential role in...

520 |a This paper examines the concept of sovereign agency in Nygren's agapic theology. I argue that Nygren's theology is structured by a voluntarist-inspired idealization of sovereignty that in effect precludes a viable agapic theory of alterity.

George Grant's profound meditations on "otherness" in Technology and Justice and other late works will provide the critical perspective for my reading of Nygren and agapist theology in general.
