Logos/miltha a greek concept?

[oozeaddai]

What should one make of the assertion that logos/miltha is an alexandrain greek concept?

Laugh hysterically. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->

Is this concept one which had no history in Aramaic thought?

How can "logos" be anywhere near an exclusive Greek concept when it is used thousands of times in the LXX as a translation of the original Hebrew word "dabar?" (the cognate of the Aramaic "miltha/memra")

hmmmh good information.

In hearing Greek primacy assumptions over the years even I had to to assume that "Logos" was used as a kind of an interpretation based upon some of Platonic influences of the time.


So what is "dabar" translated as directly into english? I assume it something like, "message", "word" etc.
