If I had spent more time reading and thinking about it (rather than doing the quiz while I was waiting for my lunch to cook) I *may* have done better. I'm not going to lean on that too much. I may not have scored any differently. I'll be frank and say that your explanation of perichoresis is clear and now that you point it out I feel like I did once know those roots, but I wonder if I would have been able to recall them. (Even if given time to do so.)<br /><br />It is no matter. I am not a scholar of religion and don't feel badly about not knowing "shop vocabulary" for religious academe. It would have been nice to get one or two right for boasting purposes only. Had I done so I could brag about the breadth of my esoteric knowledge in hopes lesser mortals would bow before my superior intelligence. Alas, I'm just a regular schmuck.The Maximum Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049183891152402775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-70549450816595264592020-01-16T18:02:57.680+09:002020-01-16T18:02:57.680+09:00Mike,

However, it's possible you could have figured it out by looking at the Greek: <i>peri</i> means "(a)round," and <i>choresis</i> comes from <i>khoreia</i> ("dance"), the root that gives us "choreography." So <i>perichoresis</i> means "the dance in the round," and is a clumsy way of referring to the mystical relationship of the Three Persons of the Trinity, for which no visual analogy is apt.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-61571254197786320552020-01-16T07:35:54.436+09:002020-01-16T07:35:54.436+09:00I got one answer right.
