The Four Loves

Author: Lewis, C. S.

Christian theology

Published on 12 April 2012 by HarperCollins Publishers (William Collins) in the United Kingdom as part of 'the C. S. Lewis Signature Classic' series.

C.S. Lewis’s famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race.

Charity, however, the Gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.
