Strong's Lexicon didaskalia: Teaching, instruction, doctrine Original Word: διδασκαλία Word Origin: Derived from διδάσκω (didaskō), meaning "to teach." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for didaskalia, related concepts can be found in terms like תּוֹרָה (torah, H8451) meaning "law" or "instruction," and לֶקַח (leqach, H3948) meaning "learning" or "teaching." Usage: Didaskalia primarily refers to the act or content of teaching. In the New Testament, it is often used to denote the instruction given by Jesus, the apostles, or church leaders. It encompasses both the process of teaching and the doctrines being taught. The term underscores the importance of sound teaching in the life of the church and individual believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, teaching was a respected profession, and philosophers and teachers were influential figures. In the Jewish context, teaching was central to religious life, with rabbis and scribes playing key roles in interpreting the Law. The early Christian community placed a strong emphasis on teaching as a means of preserving and transmitting the faith, countering false doctrines, and guiding ethical conduct.
