In "Love in the New Testament", renowned biblical scholar James Moffatt presents a comprehensive and rigorous examination of the central theme of the Christian faith. This scholarly work delves into the various dimensions of love as it is depicted across the New Testament corpus, from the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels to the theological reflections in the Pauline epistles and the Johannine writings.

Moffatt meticulously traces the linguistic and cultural roots of the term, exploring the profound implications of agape and its role in defining the relationship between God and humanity, as well as the ethical obligations among believers.
