In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Fr. Paul Ezinando on his book The Necessity of Knowledge for Love and Its Application (January 14, 2023)

In this work, Fr. Paul Ezinando not only demonstrates that knowledge is a necessity for love, but he also shows that proper knowledge promotes love. Following the argument of St. Augustine, who wrote, “you cannot love what you don’t know,” and using St. Thomas Aquinas’ philosophical proofs of the existence of God, Fr. Ezinando demonstrates that knowledge of God, self-knowledge, and knowledge of neighbour are the gateways to the love of God, proper self-love, and the love of neighbour, respectively. In this way, this book provides a clear demonstration of the connection between knowledge and love.
