Elliott’s work is a much needed corrective to the heavily rational approaches to New Testament studies. On page 247 Elliott comes very close to this reviewer’s understanding of love in the New Testament. He states that “love is not one virtue of many—it is the cornerstone of Christian ethics.” For this reviewer, joy, hope, and peace flow from God’s love towards us, and from us to others.
