Terms, defined

"In his Semantics of Biblical Language,5 James Barr warned biblical scholars of the fallacy of supposing that the meanings of biblical terms were loaded with theological content. The meaning of Scripture comes not from its individual terms, but from its sentences, paragraphs, books, and larger units. For example, the word created, just by itself, out of all context, teaches us nothing. But “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”(Gen. 1:1) teaches us a great deal. “By him all things were created”(Col. 1:16) teaches us even more."
