Other editions of book Enduring Love: A Novel

"Thanks to Ian McEwan's novel, we see that there are different kinds or levels of love. There is the conventional, everyday love of Joe and Clarissa meaningful, worthwhile, but in respects inward and fallible. There is the unhealthy, totally false eroticism of Jed, perhaps a parody of emotions to which we are all prey. There is carnal, selfish love of the professor and his student. There is the distrustful, jealous love of Logan's wife. And there is the saintly, healing, disinterested love of John Logan himself. This is the enduring love of which Saint Paul speaks in 1 Corinthians 13. This is a love which sociobiology not only allows but which it argues is the true mark of our distinctive human nature. All in all, a fascinating work showing that the insights of science and the insights of religion can complement and reinforce, not oppose and destroy. Read it and see if you agree!" -- Review, Michael Ruse
