Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Session of the Baptist Congress: Joint Session of Baptists, Free Baptists, and Disciples of Christ Without attempting a learned examination of the word itself - with a good lexicon, Greek, English, and Hebrew concordances, and the Bible, including Hebrew, Septuagint, and New Testament Greek, anyone can satisfy himself on this point - a few remarks will be necessary: (i) In the classics the word is a very demo cratic term. It means an assembly of the citizens regularly summoned, often legislative assembly. (2) It is used in the Septuagint to translate one or more Hebrew words which meant congregation, assembly, and in a restricted sense, the con gregation of Israel - the whole congregation, which was the special people of God. The principal word for which our term stands may often be translated by people of God. (3) It comes into the New Testament, of course, through the Septuagint, and as it was the general term of the Septuagint for the called of God, i. E., for the assembly of God's chosen people, it is naturally used in the New Testament to designate those whom the writers consider God's chosen people, i. E., the Christians. Now it is used in the New Testament in all the senses in which it is known, either in classical Greek or the Septuagint (aide Concordance). AS a term for our word church, it has the various meanings of a local body in a town or country, of the whole number of Chris tians of a country, of the saved of God, of believers, of Christianity, etc. It more frequently, perhaps, refers to local communities. But we very frequently attach a meaning to the word church that is not included in the New Testament term.
