The Great Words of the Bible
The great words of the Bible carry more than any single English translation can hold. Here are the original Greek and Hebrew terms, agape, logos, grace, faith, shalom, hesed and more, each traced carefully from its root through Scripture to Christ.
The Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek, and some of its greatest words hold more than one English word can carry. These studies go back to the original terms, with their real meaning at a Strong’s level, never inventing a definition and never pretending a single word settles a doctrine. Each one is traced through Scripture and, in the end, toward Christ.

The Word did not stay on the page
These are beautiful words, but they were never meant to stay words. Christians believe the meaning behind every one of them, the love, the grace, the peace, the life, took on flesh and walked among us. You do not have to take our word for it. Read his own, watch what he does, and see. The Gospel of John is a gentle place to begin, and it costs you nothing but a little quiet and an honest look.
