Agape Agape is a Greek word translated in the New Testament of the Bible as "love" or "charity." Agape is ranked by Christian moral theologians with faith and hope as a basic virtue, and Saint Paul called it the greatest of the virtues. Agape is in contrast at both points: it is not a love of the worthy, and it is not a love that desires to possess. During the fourth century the agape became increasingly the object of disfavor, apparently because of disorders at the celebration and also because problems were raised by the expanding membership of the church, and an increasing emphasis was being placed on the Eucharist. mb-soft.com /believe/txw/agape.htm   (4513 words)

agape - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia The name Agape or "love-feast," as an expression denoting the brotherly common meals of the early church, though of constant use and in the post-canonical literature from the time of Ignatius onward, is found in the New Testament only in Jude 1:12 and in 2 Peter 2:13 according to a very doubtful reading. The fact that the name Agape or love-feast used in Jude 1:12 (Revised Version) is found early in the 2nd century and often afterward as a technical expression for the religious common meals of the church puts the meaning of Jude's reference beyond doubt. In the opinion of the great majority of scholars the Agape was a meal at which not only bread and wine but all kinds of viands were used, a meal which had the double purpose of satisfying hunger and thirst and giving expression to the sense of Christian brotherhood. www.studylight.org /enc/isb/view.cgi?word=agape&action=Lookup&search.x=13&search.y=8   (866 words)

Person Paradigm - Christians are generally taught that 'agape' was a new word coined by the early Christians, as they did not want to use any of the existing Greek words for love because of their associations. Whilst Christian 'agape' is certainly a kind of love distinct from any other love in human experience, the noun 'agape' existed prior to its use in the NT texts, and the word and its meaning would have been well known to the New Testament authors. The noun 'agape' is usually connected with sex, or at least with the love of women; or it is a passion comparable in intensity with hatred; it is not at all a higher love than philia. members.ozemail.com.au /~moorea/pcagape.html   (956 words)

Last check: ) Agape refers to the paternal love of God for man and for man for God but is extended to include a brotherly love for all humanity. Agape arguably draws on elements from both eros and philia in that it seeks a perfect kind of love that is at once a fondness, a transcending of the particular, and a passion without the necessity of reciprocity. Agape finds echoes in the ethics of Kant and Kierkegaard, who assert the moral importance of giving impartial respect or love to another person qua human being in the abstract. www.iep.utm.edu /l/love.htm   (3225 words)

Untitled Document A key difference in understanding the meaning of agape is to recognize that our culture is centered on the individual, whereas ancient Biblical society (and 70% of societies today) are group-centered. Agape is not an exchange on a personal level and "will have little to do with feelings of affection, sentiments of fondness, and warm, glowing affinity." It is a gift that puts the group first. This becomes a case of having agape for the greater number, and generally innocent, at the expense of the lesser who are guilty. www.tektonics.org /whatis/whatlove.html   (1147 words)

The Modern Word - "Agape Agape" Review In it there is the perfect pitch and toss of the human voice witnessed in that earlier masterpiece, with its clangorous cacophony and frenetic interruptedness, as if the reader had accidentally tuned in on some American Babel where conversation and discourse, and “meaning” itself, are always and ineluctably being transmitted at cross-purposes, ludicrously awry. In Agapé Agape the protagonist’s intimation that his angst is “like some maiden aunt’s Torschlusspanik at being left unmarried on the shelf” discloses – thankfully – bathos rather than true self-pity on the part of the author. Agapé Agape is, after all, a fiction, but like all of Gaddis’ works it is also a fiction about writing that fiction, about creating a literary text, and about the possibilities (and impossibilities) of literary creation. www.themodernword.com /reviews/gaddis_agape.html   (2141 words)

Love Perhaps it is necessary to insist on the Greek word agape (pronounced ah-gah-pay) even at the risk of sounding snobbish or scholarly, so that we do not confuse this most important thing in the world with something else and miss it, for there is enormous misunderstanding about it in our society. What we love with agape can only be a person, the realest thing there is, because a person is the image of God, who is ultimate reality, and God's name is I Am, the name for a person. Agape is totally defenseless against an objection like Freud's: “But not all men are worthy of love.” No, they are not. www.catholiceducation.org /articles/apologetics/ap0019.html   (2265 words)
