Christian Love

A student asked for help. He was writing a paper on
Christian love and why its superior to love based on mere physicality.

I struggled to find anything that would help. I knew of Jason Evert's Pure Love (something not available at the library). Christopher West has some titles but I struggled to find any non-Catholic titles since most patrons are not Catholic.

I gave him C.S. Lewis' Four Loves but that had me thinking: why aren't there more titles like this?
