"Socrates was the last major thinker to rely solely on conversation. After his death, his successors wrote books and gave lectures." What about Jesus?
Weren’t JC’s parables more like speeches than conversations? Indeed, the most famous one was The Sermon on the Mount.
There are conversations in the Gospels, too. Just not in the segments where the parables are recorded.
“Blessed are the cheesemakers.”
The beginning of John 3 where Jesus has a back and forth with the Pharisee Nicodemus is famously a conversation.
Jesus says, ", “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” "
But in the Greek, "born again" is the same as "from above". Because of the ambiguity, Nicodemus is confused and Jesus then explains more theology.
Better as a conversation than a sermon, imo.
Kinda the same thing right James? Outer circles and echoes of hierarchical truth?
