| Description | Together with the previous article Three Levels of Love in Greek? Words of Love in Non-Christian writers and the Church Fathers, published in ST 16-1/2014, this paper provides a comparison between the semantic situation of classical Greek, the languageof the Church Fathers, and Biblical Greek. Particularly, it is demonstrated that no (threefold) hierarchy of the terms of love existed in any period. A complex view on the wide spectrum of Biblical words of love is presented (it is not limited to avgapa/n( filei/n( evra/n( ste,rgein and related terms), and the usage of words of love in the Septuagint translations from Hebrew and the New Testament is contrasted with the Septuagint books written in Greek. |
