The Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics, by James Hastings, explains: “When the Christian gospel passed out through the gate of the Jewish synagogue into the arena of the Roman Empire, an idea of the soul fundamentally Hebrew was transferred into an environment of Greek thought, with no slight consequences in the process of adaptation.”
IEncyclopœdia of Religion and Ethics, ngokubhalwa nguJames Hastings, iyacacisa: “Xa ivangeli yobuKristu yaphuma kwisango lendlu yesikhungu yamaYuda yangena kuBukhosi baseRoma, ingcamango yomphefumlo ngokusisiseko eyayiyeyamaHebhere yadluliselwa kwintandabulumko yamaGrike, aza wona ayibonda kanobom.”jw2019 jw2019
