Monogenes (μονογενής)
is a Greek word meaning "only one of its kind," "unique," or "only begotten," often used in religious and classical texts to describe something singular, special, or uniquely related, most famously applied to Jesus Christ (signifying his unique relationship with God) and Isaac (Abraham's uniquely chosen son, not his only literal son). It combines mono- (only/single) and -genes (born/begotten), emphasizing uniqueness rather than just a literal birth, highlighting divine status or special status.
Key Meanings & Uses
Unique/One of a Kind: Describes something without parallel or of a single class, like a "monogenes pais" (only child).
Only Begotten: In Christian theology, it stresses Jesus' unique divine origin and special relationship with God the Father, as seen in John 3:16.
Biblical Context:
Isaac: Described as monogenes in the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) to show he was the specially chosen, legitimate heir of God's covenant, not literally Abraham's only son.
Jesus: Used in the New Testament (e.g., John 1:14, 1:18) to convey his singular status as the unique Son of God, co-eternal and uniquely related to the Father, not a created being.
