“Paul
and Timothy, Servants of Jesus Christ…” Philippians 1:1 I am focusing on
the cultural impact that resulted in the misguided translation of the Greek word, doulos
as servant in this week’s Journal. Owing to this error, a Christian’s true
identity is lost in our Western theological thought. However, three major areas will be discussed:
(1) The origin of the cultural impact, (2) the Gospel and the Greco-Roman
world, and (3) the misguided translation… its background and the Gospel. |
