[edit] 'Platonic' love

As I recollect, the work that Plato actually uses is ἔρως, perhaps this is better covered under Platonic love.

--- love lists Storge as a fourth greek word for love. Is this in common use, or are the already here the main ones? ----

I've heard that word before. I've added it, but someone more familiar with Wikipedia's Unicode customs may want to clean it up a little. Factitious 19:29, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

And what about 'Caritas'? I'd always heard the Greek words for love to be Eros, Agape and Caritas.

Love at first site!

'Caritas' is the Latin word for love - Benedict XVI released an encyclical entiteled Deus Caritas est meaning 'God is love.'

[edit] Bullets

I've added bullets to emphasize the list and make it easier to spot, scan, and read. Tell me what you think Lue3378 09:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Yep, looks good! Keep up the good work! --G Rutter 15:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

The article is well-written and very accurate in my estimation. I am a long-term biblical student (scholar?) of 42 plus years.

I added some to your article which may be too wordy. However, I thought that there needed to be some added elements. Generally speaking most Christians mistakenly think that the word "apape" always has the meaning of a divine love. While this may be a major application in the N.T., it is not always used thus even in the N.T. (One exception that I know - II Tim. 4:10)

Feel free to edit the part I added. (TLC)
