Beloved: Henri Nouwen on the Believer as Beloved by God
This study explores Henri Nouwen’s teaching that the deepest truth about the believer is not usefulness, achievement, reputation, failure, shame, suffering, or religious performance, but belovedness in Jesus Christ. It presents belovedness as the foundation of Christian identity, the root of spiritual formation, the source of compassion, and the ground from which ministry, service, forgiveness, community, and peace flow. The study invites readers to hear and receive the voice of God that says, “You are my beloved,” and to live from that truth through the movements of being chosen, blessed, broken, and given.
