I read this a few weeks after C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves and it is an excellent companion to it, with a different emphasis. While Lewis concentrates on defining four different kinds of love: affection, friendship, eros, and charity, Benedict XVI's focus is to differentiate two kinds of love as identified by the Greeks (eros and agape). Each offers a reflection of God's love in the lives of individuals as well as in the life of the Church. Very worthwhile read.
