Over the past few weeks I have been reading through a number of sources in an attempt to discern the range of meanings assigned to pneuma in first-century Judaism and Christianity. Tonight, while reading through Justin Martyr's First Apology I was struck by a "signpost" phrase which he seems to have included in order to signal a change of direction within his apology. Despite its rhetorical purpose, the sentiment possesses depth.
"[Christ] was no sophist, but His word was the power of God" (XIV, ANF).
