Abstract

The author gives a brief outline of the first encyclical of Pope
Benedict’s XVI. After general observations the author points out
the main emphases of the encyclical, following its two-part division.
First he talks about the unity of love in creation and in the history of
salvation, then about the concrete charitable love of Church.
In place of conclusion the author presents some of his own
observations on the encyclical. He calls it a song of praise, i.e.
theology of love. He stresses that Pope approaches the issue of
Christian love in a positive way, which, he finds, is the main reason
that this document has been favourably received at various levels.
