Abstract
The phrases altruistic love and agapao love are often used synonymously. However, there is a difference between the two, albeit slight according to the findings provided in this chapter. This study sought to investigate the similarities and differences using an exhaustive literature review and a quantitative assessment of the NTOS, a new measurement of agape love, and the altruistic love dimension of the Spiritual Leadership Scale.
