| Summary: | This article presents a lexicographical study of the verb βοηθέω in ancient Greek literature, where it appears in a variety of contexts (military, medical, daily life, etc.) and covers a wide range of meanings (to help, to rescue, to assist, etc.), thus reflecting the semantic richness of the word as well as its metaphorical and symbolic potential. The investigation looks first at non-religious Greek literature, papyri and inscriptions, before considering in more detail the Septuagint (where the verb acquires a strong theological sense, especially when it refers to God), then it surveys the writings of Hellenistic Judaism and the New Testament. |
