In order to understand what religion means by the love of God, it is necessary first
to distinguish the two kinds of love signified by the Greek words eros and agape.
Eros is “desiring love,” love that is evoked by the desirable qualities of the beloved.
This love is evoked by and depends upon the loveableness of its objects. He loves
her because she is pretty, charming, cute. She loves him because he is handsome,
manly, clever. Parents love their children because they are their children. However,
when religion speaks of God’s love for mankind, it employs a different term, agape.
Unlike eros, agape is unconditional and universal in its range. It is given to someone,
not because she or he has special characteristics, but simply because that person is
there as a person. The nature of agape is to value a person in such ways as actively
to seek his or her deepest welfare and fulfillment. It is in this sense that religion
speaks of God’s love for mankind. When it is said, for example, that “God is love”
or that “God so loved the world...,” the word used is agape and its cognates.
God’s universal love for human creatures, a love not rooted in their virtue or in what
they have deserved but in God’s own nature as agape, is the basis for that side of
theistic religion that knows God as the final succor and security of a person’s life:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” For the ultimate of
grace is believed to be also the ultimate of power, the sovereign love which
guarantees our final fulfillment and well-being.
The infinite divine love also gives rise to that side of religious experience in which
God is known as claiming the total obedience of a person’s life. God is thought of
as “Lord” and “King” as well as “Father.” The divine commands come with the
accent of absolute and unconditional claim, a claim that may not be set in the balance
with any other interest whatever, not even life itself. This element of demand can be
viewed as an expression of the divine love, seeking the best that lies potentially
within the creature. Even between human beings there is nothing so inexorably

demanding as a love that seeks our highest good and cannot be content that we be
less than our best. Because it is infinite, the love of the Creator for the creatures
made in the divine image implies a moral demand of this kind that is absolute and
unqualified. (431 words)
5. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : 4x5=20
The international state system and the modern state, as we know it today, is rather
young. The treaty of Westphalia of 1648 is said to be the beginning of the system
of sovereign states. But what sort of a system existed prior to Westphalia and why
historians and scholars of International Relations (IR) consider it fundamental is
important to understand. The modem state, with defined political borders and
sovereignty, was an alien concept till the sixteenth century. Pre- and post- Westphalia,
several things have remained unchanged. Wars were fought and peace treaties were
signed. But the treaty of Westphalia drew up a list of core principles, which redefined
the conception of the state. Huge empires sprawled across the globe and dynasties
frequently changed. Political boundaries were almost fluid, being drawn and violated
repeatedly. Territories were often cut up and divided amongst allies or appropriated.
The treaty of Westphalia revised this completely. Territories were fixed and
marked as inviolable. Sovereignty of the state or supremacy of the state became an
accepted norm. These developments facilitated the growth of international relations,
for now states could conduct relations and maintain ties as clearly identified actors;
no longer did the states constantly changed their role. The treaty of Westphalia
was strengthened with two major turns in history: the birth of the American nation
and the French Revolution. Both lent the treaty certain credibility and deepened
the norm of sovereignty and territorial inviolability.
When the Americans snapped ties with Great Britain after the much publicised and
historic Boston Tea Party and declared that they were an independent nation, the idea
that a nation is possible without a royal ruling dynasty was perpetuated. The French
Revolution carried on the short history of breaking links with the past and rejecting

the ancient regime. The cry of “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” spelt the death knell
of not only Marie Antoinette, the young French empress, but also the traditional
social structure of France. The idea that society was divided into classes was
overturned and replaced with that of fraternity. The idea of a Republic was
revolutionary in 1789 and was poised to spread across Europe.
The growth of international law is closely related to the simultaneous con-
ceptualisation of state sovereignty. International law could be defined as a code of
conduct, which states adhere to, both in times of war and peace. The body of
international law as we know it today, has been evolving for the last four or five
hundred years in Europe. The term international law, first used by Jeremy Bentham
in 1780, was used to express the “law of states” and its primary purpose was to
regulate the relations between states. This law and its consequent obligations have
been accepted by states. It not only outlines the rights and duties of states, but also
provides means to amicably resolve disputes between states.
