WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on December 23, 1962.]

The strength of the Hills (Ps. 95:4)

The Hebrew word rendered "strength" is in the plural and has the literal meaning of "peaks" or "heights," which thus contrast very naturally with "the deep places of the earth" mentioned in the previous sentence. Moffatt suggests, "the mountain-peaks."

The Word of life (I John 1:1) The Greek term which is here translated "Word" is logos (cf. John 1:1) and is a word possessing a wide variety of senses, including also "reason, message, instruction." Goodspeed has, "the very message of life": while Phillips suggests, "the very Word of Life Himself."
