In ancient times, people did of course fall in love, but they did not believe that their love might in some sense save them, as we tend to today.

When, in Homer’s Iliad, Helen eloped with Paris, neither she nor he conceived of their attraction as pure or noble or exalting.

If you think about it, the concept of romantic love barely features among the 66 books of the Bible.

In the Bible, all love is directed at God, and the love for the spouse and more generally for the other is subsumed under the love of God.

In the Binding of Isaac, Abraham’s love for God trumps his love for Isaac his longed-for son, whom he is willing to sacrifice for no other reason than that God commanded it.
