Description
While love has been separated into many categories in Greek and Latin thought, it is only one word in Hebrew: Ahavah. This is because for the Hebrew/Jewish people, there is no bifurcation between the “spiritual” and the “natural,” between the “holy” and the “material. God’s love, ahavah, covers every aspect of life, from the sublime to the mundane because love is the very essence of God. John the apostle said simply, “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
