Good to Use as Tinder

Glenn Tinder has written the following in his book, The Political Meaning of Christianity:

“If one could love others without judging them, asking anything of them, or
thinking of one’s own needs, one would meet the Christian standard. Obviously,
no one can. Many of us can meet the requirements of friendship or erotic love,
but agape is beyond us all. It is not a love toward which we are naturally
inclined or for which we have natural capacities. Yet it is not something
exclusively divine, like omnipotence, which human beings would be presumptuous
to emulate. In fact, it is demanded of us. Agape is the core of Christian
morality. And even though we cannot aspire to and attain it, as we can a virtue
such as temperance, it appears occasionally in many lives…Perhaps agape has to
be given by God, by grace. If so, there is more grace in human relations than
one might at first suppose, and it is not Christians alone who receive it. Nor
is agape confined to personal relationships…it is a source of political
standards that are widely accepted and even widely, if imperfectly, practiced.”

If anyone knows of a more confused statement on the relationship between love and politics by a published writer, please let me know. Unfortunately, this is fairly typical of mainstream Christian discourse on the topic
