The ‘growing’ Λόγος
Abstract
In the book of Acts the term ὁ λόγος appears three times as subject of αὐξάνω, two of them coordinated with πληθύνω, and the third one with ἰσχύω. The present paper attends to establish the character of ritual phrase of these expressions and propounds an explanation of them in the light of other expressions of the kind found in the Old Testament and in the gospel of Luke as well, regarding them as hermeneutical clues to Luke’s theology.
