Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Barbarian
The term "barbarian" is a Greek word used in the New
Testament (Rom. 1:14) to denote one of another nation. In Col. 3:11, the
word more definitely designates those nations of the Roman Empire that
did not speak Greek. In 1 Cor. 14:11, the word "barbarian"
simply refers to one speaking a different language. The inhabitants of
Malta are so called (Acts 28:1,2, 4). They were originally a
Carthaginian colony. This word nowhere in Scripture bears the meaning it
does in modern times.
