Word Origin: Derived from ἀγνοέω (agnoeō), meaning "to be ignorant" or "not to know." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with ignorance is "בּוּר" (bur), meaning "foolish" or "unlearned," though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Usage: In the New Testament, "agnoia" refers to a lack of knowledge or understanding, often in a spiritual or moral context. It denotes a state of being uninformed or unaware, particularly regarding God's will or the truth of the Gospel. This ignorance can be due to a lack of exposure to the truth or a willful neglect of it. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, ignorance was often seen as a lack of education or enlightenment. In the Jewish context, ignorance could also imply a failure to understand or adhere to the Law of Moses. The early Christian writers used the term to describe the spiritual blindness of those who had not yet received or accepted the revelation of Jesus Christ.
