PHILOSOPHY . This word occurs in EV [Note: English Version.] only in Colossians 2:8 , where it refers to an unsound and pernicious form of teaching. ‘Philosophy’ proper falls outside the scope of the present work. Some points of contact between it and the Bible will be found in such articles as Gnosticism, Logos, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom; cf. also Epicureans, Stoics.
