Hi djconklin, The definition came from Webster's New Word College Dictionary, fourth edition. I wondered about your TDNT dictionary. I would understand that that is an acrostic for TynDale New Testament. That Interlinear version does indeed have the order (Christ Jesus) that the NASB has. If TDNT does indeed stand for Tyndale New Testament, I as a "capitalist" find that very confusing. :) I hope that you and Ed can keep your ongoing debate today on other matters and scriptures out of our converstion about Romans 1:1. |

TDNT is the standard abbreviation for the mutli-volume (about 2.5 feet of shelf space!) Theological Dictionary of the New Testament. Unfortunately, all my books are at my sister's place and so I cannot tell you which scholar wrote the article. Here's part of what I wrote up on this in a sermon on Romans: "(The Greek word used here "doulos" is "the most abject, servile term used by the Greeks to denote a slave."(9) So, it should be translated as "slave" and not as "servant."(10))" 9) Wuest, 11. 10) contra Black, 19; Godet, 74; Wenham, 121 allows both interpretations, although on page 1 he uses just "slave". Bruce, 67; Edwards, 26; Fitzmyer, 3, 227, 231; Hodge, 15; LABC, 2; Sproul, 21. Here's the biblio for the above: Barton, Bruce B., David R. Veerman, Neil Wilson Life Application Bible Commentary.

Hi djconklin, I think that I would rather not spend a lot of time considering which person is correct about "doulos" My concern is whether people know the Servant. Romans starts with the fact that God became a Son according to the flesh. This Son was God in the flesh. Romans 1:4, "who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit (or spirit) of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,..." Parenthesis mine but is an option according to the NASB Study Bible. So, carry on, but I would encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus. Later, Ray |

Hi Hank, I must have taken my eyes off of Jesus for your comments made my eyes tear up. Thanks for your encouragement. May God continue to bless you, and make you a blessing in the new year. Later, Ray | ||||||
