The LORD and the Lord

God bless you mightily in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Welcome to this online biblical study of the New Testament uses of the English word lord and its Greek counterpart kurios. Since the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed and since the Old Testament contains the foreshadowing and types concerning our Lord Jesus Christ, a great deal of detail about the Old Testament uses of lord (adown or adonay in Hebrew) and LORD (Jehovah in Hebrew) has been documented. The unique uses and phrases found in the Old Testament, in turn, shed light on the New Testament uses. For more information on this subject please see “Why this Site.”

The horizontal links will take you to a verse-by-verse investigation of lord, kurios, Jehovah, adown, and adonay while the vertical links (on the left side of the page) will take you to the documentation of each of the Old and New Testament phrases discussed in the verse by verse study.

Over the last two millennia, there have been others who have undertaken this study of LORD and the Lord. However, because of the size and scope of research involved, doing much more than simply publishing the research conclusions must have been all but impossible. The plan of this site is to present the background of each conclusion drawn concerning the meaning of the Greek word kurios.

This site is interactive in that it recognizes the ideas of others who also want to study this field.
