Along with the previous article “Three Levels of Love in the Greek? Words of Love in Non-Christian writers and the Church Fathers,” published in ST 16,1 (2014), this paper provides a comparison between the semantic situation of classical Greek, the language of the Church Fathers and Biblical Greek. It specifically demonstrates that no (threefold) hierarchy of the terms of love has existed in any period. A comprehensive view of the wide spectrum of Biblical words for love is presented (it is not limited to agapan, philein, eran, stergein and related terms), and the usage of words of love in the Septuagint translations from the Hebrew and the New Testament is contrasted with the Septuagint books written in Greek.
