Nygren’s Agape and Eros: A Transvaluation of Love
In Greco-Hellenism the gods do not love man. In Christianity, not only is God Agape but Agape is His very nature. In Greco-Roman world the gods do not take part in a fellowship with man, Christianity places fellowship in the middle of the Agape motif. Finally, Christianity is theocentric while Greek thought is egocentric.
