Deus Caritas Est
''Deus caritas est'' ( en, "God is Love"), subtitled ''De Christiano Amore'' (''Of Christian Love''), is a 2005 encyclical, the first written by Pope Benedict XVI, in large part derived from writings by his late predecessor, Pope John Paul II. Its subject is love, as seen from a Christian perspective, and God's place within all love. Charity is one of the three theological virtues; and the other two ( hope and faith) were treated in two successive encyclicals, one signed by Benedict ('' Spe Salvi'') and one written substantially by him but signed by his successor Pope Francis (''Lumen fidei''). This text begins with a reflection on the forms of love known in Greek philosophy—''eros'' (possessive, often sexual, love), ''agape'' (unconditional, self-sacrificing love), '' philia'' (friendship)—and their relationship with the teachings of Jesus. The encyclical contains almost 16,000 words in 42 paragraphs. The first half is said to have been written by Benedict in German, ...

There is no formal definition of liberal arts college, but one American authority defines them as schools that "emphasize undergraduate education and award at least half of their degrees in the liberal arts fields of study."
