The Four Loves

Affection, Friendship, Eros, Charity

How does love work in our daily lives? In The Four Loves, C.S. Lewis explores the four kinds of human love: affection, the most basic form; friendship, the rarest and perhaps most insightful; Eros, passionate love; charity, the greatest and least selfish, and God’s love. Throughout this compassionate and reasoned study, he encourages readers to open themselves to all forms of love—the key to understanding that brings us closer to God.
