Nygren argues that most medieval theology of love was based around this attempt at a caritas-synthesis. The Reformation, therefore, was hugely important because it inspired Martin Luther to expose the fallacy of the caritas synthesis, and made clear again the properly Christian conception of love, namely pure agape.[3] Publication history[edit] The Original Swedish title is: Den kristna kärlekstanken genom tiderna: Eros och Agape (which translates as, The Christian idea of love through the ages: Eros and Agape). A revised edition by the same translator appeared in 1982 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, and London: SPCK).
