| Description: | Love is a simple English word, and yet we know from our first classes in the Classics that the languages and cultures of the world have a nuanced vocabulary of love that expands and enriches the English-speaker’s understanding of human experience. The Greeks spoke of the passionate, romantic love called eros and distinguished it from abiding friendship, brotherly love, and familial love they called philia. Yet another word, agape, designated wide, caring, and unconditional love, and it was this term that was adopted by the writers of the Christian New Testament to convey the love we should have for one another and the love God bears toward us. Indeed, the apostle Paul’s discourse on agape in I Corinthians 13 becomes virtually a definition of love for Christians. |
