Study Love: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:06, 24 September 2015

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 started in Philadelphia's Germantown in 2001 and now maintained in Maple Shade, NJ.

"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." The site consists mainly of sixteen sections, each headed by a phrase from the King James Version:

Charity
Suffereth Long
And Is Kind
Charity Envieth Not
Charity Vaunteth Not Itself
Is Not Puffed Up
(Etc.)

Each section corresponds to one of the items listed in the New Testament's classic definition of agape (spiritual love). Each section includes:

A multitude of translations and versions of its head phrase.
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 plain, even minimalist, and pages load exceptionally quickly because few of them are larger than 30 kilobytes. There is a whole-site download for offline viewing and portability. There is no mention of donations. There is nothing for sale. There are no ads. There is no discernible denominational affiliation or political orientation.
