In this paper the conception of Christian love to neighbours
and fellow human beings is analyzed within the sermons of the Danish
theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872). In his sermons Grundtvig
persistently expresses the importance of the value of fatherliness. The
Christian person should thus act in a strongly fatherly way towards his
neighbour. Grundtvig criticizes popular ideas of his own time of the nature
and essence of Christian neighbour love, and he distinguishes
sharply between a true and a false sort of Christian love. According to
the sermons of Grundtvig, only a responsible and fatherly, or even patriarchal,
way of loving can be a true form of Christian love. These findings
break with quite a few common assumptions in the research literature.
