Bible Note: Rowdy: The etymology of the word "theology" is enlightening. The first stem "the" goes back to the root word "theos" in Greek, meaning "God." The second stem "ology" goes back to the root word "logos" in Greek, meaning "word." That gives us "God-word." Compare John 1:1: "In the beginning was the was the Word [logos], and the Word [logos] was with God [theos], and the Word [logos] was God [theos]. So, what do you think now of the word "theology"? --Hank |
