Definition: The Greek word for 'epic' has multiple meanings in the Bible, but here's a more precise definition:
Epic
:
- The Godhead (1:7) - "This man made all things by his authority."
- In the OT, it can mean "great" or "large," such as in 2 Sam. 7:46-47, where David is said to be king of Israel and "the great king of the gods who ruled over them."
Epic
:
- The story told about David's life - 2 Sam. 10:3-9.
- In the OT, it can mean "great" or "large," such as in 2 Sam. 7:46-47.
So 'epic' and 'ePica' both refer to great things that happened in history. The former refers to a specific story, while the latter is about David's life and reign.
In the Bible, the word comes from Greek ἐπικάφεια (epikafēia), which means "great" or "large." This verb was used by the Hebrews to describe the Godhead in various ways.
