βίος, ζωή (and ψυχή)
Posted: February 14th, 2014, 12:22 pm
In the days before I had even a little Greek, I remember reading an article in a Scripture Union magazine that in the period before the New Testament, βίος was the highest form of life - the course of a person's life, and ζωή refered to the the animal life. In the New Testament, however, the writers use ζωή as the highest form of life.
Now that I know some Greek I can see that ψυχή is part of the picture too.
To what extent is that statement about βίος and ζωή a true statement?
