1 | What is the meaning of logike latreia? | Rom 12:1 | Toronto Student | 112339 | ||
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. |

Thanks CDBJ, for the quick response, and for finding the Greek...I'm still scratching my head, because a Google search brought up 71 hits on the "Logike Latreia" spelling - a couple of which were Theological seminaries calling for papers on those words, exactly as I've spelled them!? The sense that I'm getting from what I've been able to piece together so far, is that the term has it's roots in the Romans passage, but that it has been morphed over time, into a name for some specific kind of contemplative prayer, or more likely a name used to describe the worship component necessarily involved in Biblical studies, i.e. the warning theological students usually receive, that to study scriptures is a 'doxology of the mind' and a form of worship - not simply an intellectual enterprise. So my question is really about the history of this term and how it came into use, whether it was the monastic tradition, etc.?? I'm still searching through the 71 Google hits... | ||||||
