Key Notes
Glossary
Jiang's answer for why free will exists: love proves itself by granting freedom rather than controlling behavior. Expanded here into a noncoercive theology in which God supports rather than compels the human creature. Named as the best way to understand God in this discussion: a force calling human beings back without coercing their response.
Glossary
Jiang's term for the kind of love that permanently changes a person and is most vividly realized through the responsibility of loving a child.
