I Would Not Have You Ignorant

By Mr. Tom Kelso

Figures of speech in the Bible, in general, mark what God thinks is important. The phrase "I would not have you ignorant" is the figure antenantiosis. Antenantiosis is where a positive is magnified by use of an equivalent negative statement. For example, if someone said: "He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer." You would not assume from that statement that this person might be the second sharpest knife in the drawer. Likewise, when someone says that they would not have you ignorant about a certain subject, they are saying that they really want you to know all you can about this topic. Therefore, the eight places in the Bible where this particular figure of speech is telling us to not be ignorant of something, are literally telling us that this is the really important part of the important part of God's Word.
This book takes a look at the eight places in the Bible where this phrase, "I would not have you ignorant" occurs. It explains why each occurrence is so important, why these eight uses are in the order they are in and what these truths have to do with your walk with Christ. There are also study questions at the end of each chapter.
