How is love conceived and mapped onto the conceptual landscape of antiquity? In this volume, Crabbe and Lincicum assemble a set of essays that analyze the concept of love in ancient Judaism and Christianity from the minor prophets to Methodius of Olympus, with a central focus on the texts that came to make up the New Testament.
The centrality and significance of love for much of ancient Judaism and Christianity are clear. But if there is a broad, even if not universal, agreement on the importance of love, the singularity of the term “love” covers over a multitude of differences in how love is conceived and mapped onto the conceptual landscape of antiquity. In this volume, Crabbe and Lincicum assemble a set of essays that analyze the concept of love from the minor prophets to Methodius of Olympus, with a central focus on the texts that came to make up the New Testament.
