The book explores the intricate relationship between eros and agape, challenging the conventional separation of these two forms of love. By analyzing classic texts from philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and influential Christian thinkers like Augustine and Aquinas, the author argues that eros is not solely self-interested but can also embody a Christian dimension. This perspective repositions erotic love within Christian discourse and clarifies persistent philosophical debates surrounding the nature of love.
