God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est, by Pope Benedict XVI

I read this a few weeks after C.S. Lewis's <i>The Four Loves</i> and it is an excellent companion to it, with a different emphasis.  While Lewis concentrates on defining four different kinds of love: affection, friendship, eros, and charity, Benedict XVI's focus is to differentiate two kinds of love as identified by the Greeks (eros and agape).  Each offers a reflection of God's love in the lives of individuals as well as in the life of the Church.  Very worthwhile read.
