Agape is a a Greek word meaning the highest form of love especially brotherly love of neighbor, charity and the love of God for man and man of God.
"This love is not proudly independent of its object. Its equality does not appear in love's proudly turning back to itself, indifferent towards its object. No, its equality appears in love's humbly turning itself outwards, embracing all, yet loving everyone in particular but no one in partiality (Ibid)."
