What it is
A full theology of charity from its natural roots to the highest union, written for people already committed and full of images drawn from beekeeping and gardening.
Why it lasted
The mature companion to the Introduction, and one of the great treatments of love in Christian theology.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
