Love describes a feeling, an attitude, a thought, an experience that people consider to be the most important in their lives. The love for other people, for animals, for God, for gods or the love received from them can be found in very different shapes and meanings. Does love find its essential expression in friendship, in sexual union, in a ritual performance or in a divine act? This volume focuses on the question of how love is understood in religions. In Christianity in particular, different ideas have developed to think about God, man and love together. But also philosophical contributions and those dealing with spiritual and secular literature open up decisive perspectives on the inexhaustible phenomenon of love.
