Listen "123: The Meaning and Origin of "Monogenes" (John 1:14)"
Episode Synopsis
While some translations of John 1:14 have traditionally regarded Jesus as the "only-begotten," modern lexicons and grammarians are arguing that "unique" or "one of a kind" is a more accurate translation. This episode explores how the Prologue and the rest of the Gospel of John use the Greek adjective "monogenes" in regard to the human Jesus. In doing so, we focus on the meaning of the adjective and its origins within Jewish depictions of Lady Wisdom.
