There is some confusion about the Greek words logos and rhema & what they mean & how they are used in the New Testament. This short book examines the biblical meanings of both words. References are below.

By reading this book you will:

1. Better understand the differences between the two words.

2. Consider numerous examples of logos and rhema being used in the NT.

3. Appreciate the importance of context when it comes to the meaning of words.

4. Distinguish between illumination & receiving a revelation.

5. Consider some other images that may better serve to explain the amazing ways that God speaks to people.
