This title argues for an understanding of religious belief as love of a God of love, thereby over-turning traditional epistemologically based conceptions of religious belief. Traditionally, religious belief has in the philosophy of religion been understood along more or less epistemological lines. "Love of a Love of God" develops another understanding of belief, where the moral concept of love is central. In this context, what is distinctive about the concept of love is that it is both the 'what' and the 'how' of belief: for the one who loves a God of love, the concept of love characterizes both the content side and the act side of the belief. In that respect, this understanding of religious belief makes it possible to avoid certain formalist difficulties, arising when the 'what' and the 'how' of belief are sharply distinguished.
