Abstract

The article presents the essence of Christianity (God is Love) in the teaching of the faith and in the pastoral ministry of the Church. Faced with the contributions of Modernity, Feuerbach’s «unhappy love» and Harnack’s «intimate and conciliatory love», Guardini’s proposal («love from above») maintains its current vigor even in our postmodern time, since the Trinitarian revelation transcends history itself and the human abyss in both its ideological and totalitarian form.
