Ecthesis

/ɛkˈθɛsɪs/ noun

Definition

In rhetoric and grammar, the setting forth or exposition of a subject, particularly in early religious or philosophical texts.

Etymology

From Greek ekthesis 'exposition' from ek- 'out' + tithenai 'to set or place.' A classical rhetorical and theological term for presenting or laying out arguments.

Kelly Says

Early Christian theologians like the Church Fathers loved using ecthesis to describe how they 'set forth' or laid out their arguments—it's a beautiful word showing how ancient Greek rhetoric shaped religious intellectual tradition.
