Why is the name Yahweh never explicitly mentioned in the New Testament?
In this MythVision Podcast discussion, Dr. Robert M. Price examines a fascinating question about the relationship between Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew Bible, and the emergence of early Christianity.
Could the absence of the divine name Yahweh in the New Testament suggest that some early Christians viewed the Jewish God with suspicion? Was there a connection between this omission and early forms of Gnostic thought, including the idea of a Demiurge?
Dr. Price offers a different explanation, pointing to the widespread use of “Lord” as a substitute for the divine name in Greek-speaking Jewish communities. The discussion explores the Greek Septuagint, the Tetragrammaton, Adonai, the Aramaic title “Mara,” and the way Greek-speaking Christians referred to God.
The conversation also raises a much bigger question: did forms of Gnosticism exist before the New Testament was written, and could early Christian ideas have developed alongside pre-Christian religious movements?
Why does Luke remove Hebrew and Aramaic expressions found in Mark? And could the same cultural and linguistic shift explain why the divine name does not appear explicitly in the New Testament?
Explore the mystery surrounding Yahweh, early Christianity, Gnosticism, the Demiurge, and the development of Christian theology.
