Who Wrote The Book Of Love?

If you are referring to the song, then it was originally recorded by the Monotones.\n\nIf you mean a book, then it's claimed that the Apostle John wrote the book of love for the bible.

he first recorded association of St. Valentine's Day with romantic love was in the 14th century in England and France, where ****February 14 was traditionally the day on which birds paired off to mate.**** This belief is mentioned in Geoffrey Chaucer's Parlement of Foules (1381)\n\nIn the following century, one of John Lydgate's minor poems is "A balade made..in wyse of chesing loues at Saint Valentynes day" which indicates that the manner of choosing was drawing lots. By the 17th century a valentine was extended to the gift given, some pretty token.\n\nIt was common during that era for lovers to exchange notes on this day and to call each other their "Valentines". A 14th century valentine is said to be in the collection of the British Library. It is probable that many of the legends about St. Valentine were invented during this period.

Love.\n\nIn the end, it's all about love.  Even the law is about love.  \n\nWe don't always know what's best for us.  We don't always know what love is.  We think strong feelings are love.  How many people in the world control, manipulate, abuse, and even kill in the name of love.  What do we know about love?\n\nLove is when you do what is best for someone else.  When you put them first.\n\nWe have our own desires to contend with.  The law was given to us to teach us how to balance our desires with loving others.\n\n“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”\nJesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  Matthew 22:36-40\n\nWe don't even know how to properly love ourselves.  We have addictions and vices and disorders.  We don't want to obey because it's not fun and it's difficult.\n\nWhat if it's the best thing for us?  What if obedience is best, not because we fear some retribution later, but because it ultimately makes us into someone we love being right here and now?  Someone who is able to love God and others deeply and completely?\n\nI don't know why Mr. Shaw believes that "God doesn't do happy."  Maybe he's thinking more along the lines of giddy rather than joyous?\n\nFor whom the LORD loves He corrects,\nJust as a father the son in whom he delights.\nProverbs 3:12\n\n The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,\n And He delights in his way.\nPsalm 37:23\n\n But let him who glories glory in this,\n That he understands and knows Me,\n That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, \njudgment, and righteousness in the earth.\n For in these I delight,” says the LORD.\nJeremiah 9:24

For the Bible, the answer is "about forty." Of the sixty-six books, several are attributed to the same author (as in the traditional view that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament; in the New Testament, the Gospel of John, I John, II John, III John and the book of Revelation are all attributed to Jesus' disciple. The book of Acts was certainly written by Luke, the writer of the third Gospel. The apostle Paul wrote about 1/3 of the New Testament (the espistles to the early Christian churches).\n\nThere are some books for which an author cannot be readily identified, such as the New Testament book of Hebrews, and a couple in the Old Testament for which authorship is debated, which makes the number forty a very close, if maybe not precise, number. Execpt for the voices of a few very liberal/radical scholars, the academic community is quite settled on this question.\n\nAs for the Qu'ran, I believe tradition holds that the entire thing was revealed to Mohammed; but the text has gone through much redaction, re-arranging and editing, and displays some stylistic changes which suggests more than one author. It's impossible to tell what Mohammed dictated originally, and what was added later, but it seems unlikely that the Prophet wrote the whole thing.

Say: "O People of the Book! Let us rally to a common formula to be binding upon both us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; and that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." (Qu'ran, 3:64)\n\nThis is our call to the Jews, a People of the Book: As people who believe in God and obey His commands, let us come together in a common formula of "faith." Let us love God, the Lord and Creator of all of us. Let us abide by His commands. Let us pray to God to lead us further on the path of righteousness. Let us bring love, compassion, and peace to each other and the world, not hostility, bloodshed, and anguish.\n\nThat is where the solution to the Palestinian tragedy and other conflicts in the world lies. The deaths and suffering of so many innocent people remind us every day what an urgent task this is.\n\nSee the following site:\nhttp://www.palestiniantragedy.com/

The only person I can find credited for that is Eden Ahbez who is the songwriter who penned 'Nature Boy' in 1948. Incidently he believed the lyric needed correcting "To be loved in return, is too much of a deal, and that has nothing to do with love."

Definitely...Lewis was a devout Christian, and his friend, Tolkien, was trying to convert him to Catholicism.  His books are majorly Catholic

The author is unknown. One of those dear souls who wrote a song loved over the centuries and s/he goes totally unadorned for the creativity and talent.\n\nHere is what I found:\n\nWho wrote it? No one knows. But it’s been around for a long time. Although I couldn’t speak to its author, I could start with two facts. First, the twelve days are the period between the differing celebrations of Christmas—December 25 (in the Western church) and January 6 (in the Eastern church).\n\nSecond, people living when it was written commonly wrote, painted, and thought using symbols to express what they meant. All those birds and people are probably much more than they seem. (It certainly isn’t a coded list of significant biblical numbers. That probably confuses it with a similar song called “In Those Twelve Days”.) So I started looking. Here’s what I found.\n\nIn the Middle Ages birds were symbols of a human being, the soul, and each bird had specific associations. But the birds in the song had interesting Christian connections.\n\nThe partridge was always associated with Jesus’ birth. More than that, so was the pear tree. So the song begins with a double-image of the Nativity! \nSince I’m thinking of Jesus’ birth, “two turtle doves” brought to mind Jesus’ presentation at Mary’s purification (Luke 2:21-24) and the Spirit’s descent upon him after his baptism at the start of his public ministry (Luke 3:21-22). \n“French hens,” symbols of self-sacrifice and care, are reminiscent of Jesus’ role as the Good Shepherd to his own while he was among them. \n“Calling birds”? One author suggested it might originally be “colley birds,” that is, blackbirds. (Unfortunately I haven’t found anything on their symbolism…yet.) \nSince it’s Christmas, the “five gold rings” aren’t jewelry. Instead they remind us of golden ring-necked pheasants that were often associated with Nativity scenes (as can be seen in Fra Angelico’s Nativity) as well as a royalty (suggesting Jesus’ Messianic role) and the promise of life that rises from the ashes of death. \n“Geese” (whether white or gray) symbolized spiritual vigilance, avoidance of worldly pleasures, wholehearted devotion to Godly obedience. Sounds like Jesus again. \n“Seven swans” bring the opening series to a climax. Swans, always associated with royalty and prophecy, were thought to know the hour of their death and announce their death with a great cry (“swan song”), thereby earning them an enduring association with Christ’s work on the cross. Then add the biblical nuance of seven suggesting a completed work, and the connection to the cross is complete. \nBoy, this was really interesting! If I’d lived 500 years ago, singing the first seven verses could be a powerful reminder of my Savior, his life and work. \n\nAs anyone who sings this song knows, from here on you gotta hold on to your dentures! Momentum gathers with the last five gifts – all people. Lowly “milk maids” at work give way to dancing “ladies” and “lords” in ever-increasing displays of joy, followed by an orchestra of “pipers” and “drummers” to support the chorus, and rehearsed at a speed that carries me along in its grand celebration. What a wonderful way to celebrate the coming of our Savior!\n\nThen I got out my calculator. How many gifts were there? If one arrives on the first day, three on the second, six on the third, …by the last day there’s a grand total of 364 gifts. That’s one for every day of the year!\n\nNow at last I understood. “My True Love” was no mere earthly lover but my Heavenly Father. The gift of His Son was sufficient for every day of my year.\n\nThe irony? Everybody, even my fellow Christians, think it’s only a secular song. They even enjoy the lusty singing of its parodies – like “The Twelve Days After Christmas – to mock at the corruption of the holiday. They don’t understand why I can’t laugh and sing it with t

Per Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grapes_of_Wrath\n\n"Steinbeck experienced a rough time coming up with a title for the epic. "The Grapes of Wrath", suggested by his wife, Carol, deemed more suitable than any of the names John himself could come up with. The title is a reference to the Battle Hymn of the Republic, by Julia Ward Howe:\n\n"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:\nHe is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;\nHe hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:\nHis truth is marching on."\n\nThis phrase originally comes from a passage from the Book of Revelation: "And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God" (14:19)."

If Nesmas Kol CHa is the book I think you're reffereing to it was not written by Saint Peter but is a book written by Agnostic writes, who would often use the name of various Chrsitian saints to try and create a set of canon for thier relgion is place of the Christian Gospels. the gospel of St. Judas and St. Thomas are similar cases.

It is actually from a Lord Alfred Tennyson poem who was England's Poet Laureate after Wordsworth. \n\nFrom Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem 'In Memoriam:27', 1850:\n\n    I hold it true, whate'er befall;\n    I feel it, when I sorrow most;\n    'Tis better to have loved and lost\n    Than never to have loved at all.\n\n\nTennyson married, but I guess that doesn't give us a clear indication if he ever actually found love.

Have a look at 2 books\n1. The Ossian Chronicles by James MacPherson\n2. Who Relly Wrote the Book of Mormon? by Cowdery Davis and Scales.\n\nThe first book has so many parallels with the BOM that it is not funny.  The author said that he found it in a hill when he was the same age as Joseph and that he translated it.  It was the story of an ancient land and its language.  He recanted in later life and admitted that he didn't find gold plates and that he wrote it off the top of his head.

Your concept of the books of the bible are totally wrong.\nThe bible writers were chosen by God and their writings weren't just added together.\nThe library as we know it, now bound together was written over nearly 6 thousand years.\nYou cannot make a holy man of yourself. If not inspired of God, nothing will happen. You would be looked on today as a KOOK and ignored

Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince".\n\nIt's a good read.\n\nEDIT: Anyways, I feel it is better to be feared. Like Machiavelli said, love is too easily discarded to rely on it.
