Subject: What is the meaning of logike latreia? |
Bible Note: Thankyou, yes - the library will soon take over the house! If you're at all interested, I think I've hit paydirt on a website. Try www.godstory.net/Lesson_34_The_Renewing_of_Your_Mind_(12.1-2).htm This article covers the history of the term "logike latreia" in some depth, noting difficulties in translation and giving several spellings (including the one you pointed out) as part of its history. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for all your help. Toronto Student. |
