In each instance, you do so rather incidentally: you make no reference to the pre-eminent role of love in the history of religious thought and experience. Whether this omission happened by accident or design, you have managed to reveal one great flaw in your approach and in the whole modern approach to religion-the absence of love. Your article would have brought more light to this vital issue if those who wrote it had first asked themselves, "Is modern...
