Human beings are obviously unequal in numberless ways, including: health, opportunities, abilities, energy, moral character, and contribution to society. It is essential, therefore, in asserting the equality of all men to delineate the nature and the source of that equality. In Christian ethics the nature of equality is that all men are equally to be loved — not equally admired, or emulated, or praised; but equally loved.
Calvin D. Linton, Wycliffe Dictionary of Christian Ethics, Carl F.H. Henry editor, pg.213-214.
