I think that many B-Greekers might find illuminating the very careful  
examination of NT words for love in Brandon Wason's blog:

	http://www.novumtestamentum.com/2006/02/love-in-new-testament.php

Inasmuch as this discussion -- quite a lengthy one for a St.  
Valentine's Day blog! -- involves judgments that are hermeneutical  
and theological as well as philological, it's not really open to  
discussion here except insofar as it concerns the lexicographical  
concerns. But it is, IMHO, a well-thought-out discussion of the  
philological questions and treats well our forum's recurrent question  
of the alternation of AGAPAW and FILEW in the celebrated exchange  
between the risen Christ and Peter in John 21.
