250 Greek words to explore
The Greek Word Explorer is a free, growing collection of New Testament Greek word studies for confessional Lutheran readers. Browse by theological locus, from God and the Trinity to Last Things, or search for a word or subject.
Each entry opens up what the word means, where you meet it in Scripture, and what confessional Lutherans hear in it. Further sections explore common misreadings, why the word matters, and where to read more, as the study calls for them. The collection grows one word at a time.
Not the whole language, just enough to read with confidence and to hear what the church has always heard. Start with the Word of the Week, browse the full list, or use flashcards to learn the words by heart.
What it means, where you’ll meet it in Scripture, and what confessional Lutherans hear in it.
God and the Trinity
πρόγνωσις
Prognōsis PROH-gnoh-sis
foreknowledge
“Knowing Beforehand Is Not Choosing”
God knows what will happen before it happens. Scripture also speaks of his gracious choosing of people in Christ. The Formula of Concord distinguishes these truths so that foreknowledge does not become an explanation that makes God the author of evil or turns election into a threat.
