Whoa. "Agape" is a Christian term for God's love. In fact, in the list of C.S. Lewis's famous book THE FOUR LOVES, it is the most sacred and unconditional. It is God's love for man.

Eros (lover)
Philios (family)
Friendship (friends)
Agape (God's love)

I forget all the Greek or Latin terms but those are the "Four Loves".
