A Super-Outline for Study or Meditation on 1 Cor. 13:4-7

Study Love is a big reference source about the New Testament definition of "agape" (spiritual love). A visit to Study Love is good for a quick dose of happy thinking, or for a session of deeper meditation or study.

The site consists mainly of 16 sections, each headed by a phrase from the King James Version of 1 Corinthians 13 ("The Love Chapter"). Each section includes:

A multitude of translations and versions.
Multiple definitions of the original Greek words and some of their derivatives ("paronyms"), synonyms, and antonyms.
Examples of these words elsewhere in the Bible.
Relevant quotations from other ancient sources and from commentators of later and modern centuries.
Some also have English dictionary definitions. Some have Hebrew equivalents and definitions.
There are also a few "Easter eggs", for example, a sub-page about love feasts and a sub-page about kindness to animals.

The site's design is minimalist—informationally rich but compact in data storage—so its navigation is easy and super-fast. Study Love was launched in 2001 from an office in Germantown. It is now based in Burlington County.

-'''Study Love''' is described for Wikidelphia by its maker:<blockquote>Study Love, subtitled, "A Super-Outline for Study or Meditation on 1 Cor. 13:4-7 (The New Testament Definition of Agape: Spiritual Love)", is a website that has been growing slowly since 2001, always adding information to facilitate deep exploration of the classic itemized Christian description of "agape" (ah-GAH-pay), a Koine Greek word which English crudely translates as "love".<br><br>"While it is possible to find topics here to debate," says a disclaimer under the Study Love main index, "this is primarily a space for people to learn how to put agape (love) into thought and practice."
