This word is often used in contexts where a detailed and comprehensive account is necessary, emphasizing the importance of conveying the full scope of the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, oral storytelling and detailed recounting of events were crucial for preserving history, culture, and religious traditions. The ability to narrate events thoroughly was highly valued, as it ensured that important stories and teachings were passed down accurately through generations. This cultural emphasis on detailed narration is reflected in the use of ἐκδιηγέομαι in the New Testament, where it underscores the importance of conveying the full message of the Gospel and the works of God.
