Scriptural Resonance: Isaiah 1:18 — “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord.”

Definition: A logical argument consisting of two premises and a conclusion. From Greek *syllogismos* — “inference.”

Theological Use: Syllogisms are used in apologetics, doctrinal formulation, and philosophical theology. Example: All humans are sinners. Paul is a human. Therefore, Paul is a sinner.

Pastoral Note: Logic serves love. Syllogisms clarify truth, but must be guided by Scripture and humility—not prideful precision.
