Love One Another

2022 Reprint of the 1944 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In Love One Another Bishop Sheen offers an inspiring solution to the problem of intolerance among men-one of the most pressing problems of his time. Hate and distrust dominated the minds and actions of man and kept the world in a state of constant social strife and unrest. Much of this is still true today. "The solution of the problem is not the carrying on of anti-hate campaigns for, unless there is love, how can hate be abolished...The discords and hates among classes and races and creeds can be sublimated and abolished only by a love of God." Bishop Sheen makes clear that what mankind needs today is a new philosophy of life; one based upon a commandment given to man by God, Himself, who said: "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; that as I have loved you, you also love one another." (John 13: 34-35) This book is another excellent example of the brilliance and scope of Bishop Sheen's mind and the eloquence of his pen. His practical contribution to the growing universal movement against intolerance makes important, as well as inspiring reading.
