Title
Defining, Understanding, and Quantifying Love

T. Michael W. Halcomb


Abstract

The term “love” has become increasingly loose and undefined, used to describe a wide variety of ideas and to support various theological understandings of Christian life and obedience. An analysis of the biblical words behind the English word “love” reveals a more narrow understanding of the term. This understanding can be quantified with an analytical approach to help Christians grow in obedience to the two great commandments.
