55. Acts 12 - The Logos and the Mythos

Episode 55: Acts 12 - The Logos and the Mythos

September 28, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall 

In ancient times stories used two general concepts, logos and mythos, to convey meaning to their readers.  It’s true of stories outside the Bible, but it’s also true of the stories we find within the Bible as well. In this episode we look further into the ancient understanding of logos and mythos and how they are presented in Acts 12.
