Study Love is described for Wikidelphia by its maker:
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".
"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
- Doth Not Behave Itself Unseemly
- Seeketh Not Her Own
- Is Not Easily Provoked
- Etc.
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 minimistically plain, so the pages load unusually quickly. The whole site is downloadable in one tiny ZIP file (less than 1 MB).See Also
