The etymology of the word "theology" comes from ancient Greek : "theos" = god, and "logos" = talking. Basically what theologists do is talking about god(s). [img]smile.gif[/img]
Logos I believe, refers to the written word Moiraine. It is the "root word for LOGIC" as well. "Rhema" is the spoken word of speech. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]No Yorick, from my ancient Greek studies in high school, "logos" means litterally "discourse". [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]λόγος ο = word thought
logos o
