Notes for The Four Loves

In a couple of weeks I’ll be giving a talk here in San Diego based on The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis. I remembered that I had written some notes for our discussion group and posted them here. However, when I went to find them I discovered that I didn’t have a single index page with all the links….so here it is.

Chapter 1
“Introduction”

Chapter 2
Likings and Loves of the Sub-Human, Love of Nature, Patriotism

Chapter 3
Affection

Chapter 4
Friendship

Chapter 5
Eros

Chapter 6
Agape

Here are some other resources relating to The Four Loves which I think are helpful:

I’ve been sleeping like Lazarus in the darkened cave

Through the darkness on into the light of day

Water to wine, sight for the blind
You say the word and the dead will rise!
The lame walk around, the lost will be found
’cause that’s just what you do…impossible things
