In honor and remembrance of the recent
passing of Greek scholar, Dr. Spiros Zodhiates, from whom I learned
New Testament Greek, I present this article originally found on

USA (MNN) ― On Saturday, AMG International said a final farewell
to its president of 33 years: Dr. Spiros Zodhiates.
Known originally as American Mission to the Greeks, Inc., AMG
International is involved in evangelistic and relief activities
in 55 countries. Zodhiates became its president in 1966 after
coming to America at the organization's invitation.
Zodhiates had a passion for strengthening the ministry of individual
national workers in the places of service God has called them
to.
Born on the isle of Cyprus to
Greek parents, Zodhiates went on to the American University in
Cairo after finishing his Greek education. He also attended the
National Bible Institute and New York University, earning his
Doctor of Theology degree from the Luther Rice Seminary.
In addition, Dr. Zodhiates received
several honorary doctorates. Zodhiates is a recognized authority
on the Greek New Testament. His works include an edition of the
Modern Greek New Testament and the Key Word Study Bible. Zodhiates
authored numerous exegetical books in both the Greek and English
languages, and for many years he was heard daily on the New Testament
Light radio program. Throughout a total of six decades of leadership,
Dr. Zodhiates demonstrated a profound commitment to the Word of
God. He's remembered for his frugal stewardship, great enthusiasm,
entrepreneurial courage and unexpected generosity.
Funeral services were held at
the Woodland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Pastor
John Meador and Pastor Joe Fauth officiated. Zodhiates is survived
by his wife of 61 years, Joan Zodhiates, and a large family: 4
children, 12 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
Ask God to comfort Zodhiates'
family and give them peace as they mourn his loss.
