Bible Question: What special meaning did "logos" (the Word) have for both Greeks and Jews? |
Bible Answer: What about the person with a Jewish background? In Boice's commentary he states that the term "word" would refer a Jewish person to the first words of Genesis.. in the beginning God spoke and all things came into being... To the Jews a word was something concrete, something much closer to what we would call an event or a deed. Jim |
