    Hebrew and Greek Thinking

    See: Athens and Jerusalem

    Great book:  Assumptions That Affect Our Lives 

    Christian Overman

    Assumptions That Affect Our Lives     -              By: Christian Overman

    Different starting points, different conclusions

     

    Hebrew

     

    Greek

    God is personal and unlimited

    Nature is impersonal and does not reason

     

    Gods are amplified humanity

     

    Man is imago dei; created by choice, not chance

     

    Man is random assembly of amino acids (dehumanizing); men came from fish (Anaximander, Darwin)

     

    The Lord is God

    Man is god, the measure of all things (self-deification)

     

     

    Greek

    Hebrew

    (Judeo-Christian)

     

    Mode of Thinking

    Eye-Sight: photographic impressions

    Essence of things: content before external form.

    Measure of all things?

     

    Man

    God as alpha and omega

    Worth of Life

    Sparta: abortion or infanticide of the weak (collectivism)[1]

     

    Athens: abortion of inconvenient babies (individualism)[2]

     

    Materialism or Supernaturalism

     

    Source of information: objective, superhuman source absolutely necessary in defining human values

     

    Man is not qualified in and of himself to be his own standard of moral or ethical measurement: Jer 17:9 – unreliable source of guidance

     

    God’s unchanging laws. – not subject to public opinion or the vote. Nonnegotiable.
