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.
