Professor emeritus David Goicoechea has published a new book examining the three traits of personhood.

Agape and Personhood with Kierkegaard, Mother and Paul is published by Pickwick Publications. Here’s a description from the publisher:

“Goicoechea shows how the three traits of personhood—that all persons are equal in dignity, that each is unique, and that all persons are interpersonal—is rooted in that love which is agape. This love between the three persons of the One God is examined existentially as mother lived it out in her love and personal growth. It is examined philosophically with Kierkegaard as he explains the logic of reconciling love, which can happen when I love the other, even my enemy, as more important than myself. The logic of reconciling love is then examined in Paul’s seven authentic letters. The history of how humans became seen as persons and how this idea developed in the West is then examined through nine moments of history.”
