Philotheia

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Philotheia [1]

( Φιλοθεία , i.e. The Love Of God), is a term which was sometimes applied by ancient Christian writers to the monastic life, because those who embraced that life professed to renounce all for the love of God. Hence Theodoret entitles one of his books Philotheus (q.v.).
