520 1 $a"Traditionally, religion has helped humans ease the pain of finitude by offering love objects such as saints and deities in whom to invest admiration intensified by compassion. An increasingly conspicuous alternative is the attempt to find the value of being in the experience of erotic and spiritual love for another individual." "Although this trend has often been derogated as inadequate and an aberration, Ralph Ellis sees it as a phenomenon to be understood on an equal footing with traditional religious approaches. He explores and defends the role of romantic love in creating positive value experience and looks at some of the pitfalls we may encounter."--Jacket.
