An essay introduces each of the annotated bibliographies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA variety of literature either directly related to science-and-love issues or supporting literature for those issues is covered in the Religious Love Interfaces with Science section. This annotated bibliography is unique in that it approaches the field from a decidedly religious perspective. It includes classical expositions of love that continue to influence contemporary scholars, including Platos' work on eros, the work and words of Jesus, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, Kierkegaard, and Ghandi, among others. The contemporary discussion includes Anders Nygren's theological arguments in his classic, \u003ci\u003eAgape and Eros\u003c\/i\u003e; Pitirim Sorokin; and others. An issue that often emerges in this literature is the question of the nature and definition of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA second annotated bibliography features current empirical research in the field of Personality and Altruism, with a focus on social psychology. Among the topics covered are the altruistic personality, altruistic behavior, empathy, helping behavior, social responsibility, and volunteerism. Methodologies are diverse, and studies include experiments, local and national surveys, naturalistic observation, and combinations of these.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Evolutionary Biology annotated bibliography covers the most significant works on altruism and love in the field of biology and evolutionary psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fourth and final annotated bibliography in this volume is entitled \u003ci\u003eSociology of Faith-Based Volunteerism\u003c\/i\u003e.
