Strong's Lexicon agnósia: Ignorance, lack of knowledge Original Word: ἀγνωσία Word Origin: Derived from ἀ- (a-, "not") + γνῶσις (gnōsis, "knowledge") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew concept of ignorance can be related to terms like "בּוּר" (bur, meaning "foolish" or "ignorant") and "חֶסֶר דַּעַת" (cheser da'at, meaning "lack of knowledge"). Usage: The term "agnósia" refers to a state of ignorance or lack of knowledge, particularly in a spiritual or moral context. In the New Testament, it often denotes a lack of understanding or awareness of God's truth or moral principles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, knowledge (gnōsis) was highly valued, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. Ignorance was often seen as a barrier to enlightenment and moral living. In the Jewish tradition, knowledge of God and His laws was considered essential for righteous living. The New Testament writers, therefore, used "agnósia" to describe a spiritual deficiency that needed to be addressed through the revelation of Christ and the teaching of the apostles.
