Loving the Way Jesus Loves

Philip Graham Ryken

Paperback 2012-01-31

Publisher Description

Most people are familiar with the "Love Chapter" of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, yet Phil Ryken has something fresh to say. Drawing on the life and ministry of Jesus to illustrate what love is and isn't, Ryken brings a unique perspective to this commonly quoted passage.
Loving the Way Jesus Loves successfully integrates biblical teaching, photography, chapter study guides, and a popular-level writing style - all of which will help you understand the profound love of Christ more deeply and, in turn, learn to love more deeply in response.

"Five out of five stars."

  • Christianity Today

"As usual, Phil Ryken hides his deep scholarship behind readable prose. But the footnotes reveal that he draws on some of the most penetrating scholarly treatments of St Paul's text. He combines all that with pastoral experience and insight. The result is a masterful, accessible exposition of this great chapter."

  • Timothy J. Keller, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City; bestselling author, The Reason for God

"It would be hard to think of a single topic more talked about, sung about, and celebrated than love. Yet - partly because of its familiarity - love is typically taken for granted and often misconstrued by the very people who talk about it most. And let's face it: that is true even in the church. We are indebted to Phil Ryken for this wonderfully fresh, biblical analysis of what genuine love is like when we see it in perfect Christ-like purity. At once both simple and profound, this book will almost certainly challenge your presuppositions about love and help you see authentic love in a whole new light."

  • John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California

"Phil Ryken is not only a scholar; he is a magnificent expositor of God's Word. We already benefit from his massive commentaries on so many books of the Bible, and now he turns his attention, both as scholar and as pastor, to the message of 1 Corinthians 13. This is a gift to the entire church."

  • R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"So much of following Jesus is a matter of being reminded of what we once knew. I knew that he loved me first and that his loving lay at the heart of my small ability to love others. I knew once that when my love ran out, his remained and would refill to overflowing. I knew these things, but had largely forgotten them. I will always be grateful to Phil Ryken for this profound reminder."

  • Michael Card, musician; Bible Teacher; author, A Better Freedom"Jesus said, 'By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.' But what does it mean to love others? By looking at the love of Jesus in the light of 1 Corinthians 13, Phil Ryken gives us the Biblical answer. Loving the Way Jesus Loves is surely one of the most heart searching books I have ever read. This book is must reading for all who want to grow in Christian love."
  • Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness

"There are many expositions of 1 Corinthians 13, the Love Chapter, but not many where at every point the preacher shows how God's love in Christ Jesus is the very best exposition and truest embodiment of love. Unpacking the love chapter through this prism, Phil Ryken lends great clarity to Paul's meditation on love and shows how such love drives us back to renewed adoration of Christ. Reflecting on how Christ, by his life and death, makes 1 Corinthians 13 leap from the page drives home the frequent lovelessness of our own lives, strips bare all notions of love that are little more than sentimental twaddle, and provides a concrete robustness to love that is part and parcel of trusting and following Christ."

  • D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"Loving the Way Jesus Loves is not just another book on how to love. Rather, it explains how loveless sinners are transformed into loving worshippers because of the transforming power of God's love in Jesus Christ. This is a biblical, practical, and helpful book."
