Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἀνακρίνω (anakrinō), meaning "to examine" or "to investigate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anakrisis," the concept of examination or inquiry can be related to Hebrew terms like דָּרַשׁ (darash, Strong's H1875), meaning "to seek" or "to inquire." Usage: The term "anakrisis" refers to a process of examination or investigation, often in a legal or judicial context. It implies a thorough and careful inquiry into a matter to ascertain the truth. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the process of examining or judging a situation or individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Roman societies, "anakrisis" was a preliminary examination or hearing conducted before a trial. It was a critical part of the judicial process, where evidence was gathered, and testimonies were evaluated to determine whether a case should proceed to a formal trial. This concept was familiar to the early Christian communities living under Roman rule, where legal proceedings were a part of daily life.
