Book Reviews of The Four Loves
Book Review: A Comprehensive and Comprehendible Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Four Loves" is one of C. S. Lewis' lesser-known, but most important writings. In a brief 156-pages, Lewis captures the essences of "AFEC": Affection, Friendship, Eros, and Charity.
From the Koine Greek of the Bible, affection is "storge," friendship is "phileo," romantic and/or sexual love is "eros," and charity or love for God is "agape" (self-giving, unselfish, other-centered, grace love).
Lewis' remarkable achievement is his integrative, balanced, and holistic approach to love. Many theologian-philosophers tend to emphasize one ("agape"), demonize another ("eros"), minimize a third ("phileo"), and misunderstand a fourth ("storge").
Lewis not only correctly interprets all four loves while giving each their validity and importance in their respective spheres; he does so in his renowned pithy, provocative, philosophical, and practical style.
Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," "Soul Physicians" and "Spiritual Friends."
