James Olthuis in his great book, The Beautiful Risk, challenges us:
"Instead of 'I think, therefore, I am' - Descarte's classic starting point - it is 'I was loved, therefore I am,' and 'I love, therefore, I am.'" At this point Olthius says thinking then defines humanity. "When by contrast, 'I love' becomes the mark of authentic humanity, relationships with others, with God, and with the creation" then takes it proper place at the top of our crown. (page 69 and 70)
