+ | The phrase "[[3588|the]] [[3056|Word]]" (a translation of the [[Greek]] word "[[3056|Logos]]") refers to [[Jesus]] Christ, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter ([[John 1:14]]). This verse set the stage for later developments in [[Trinitarianism|Trinitarian]] theology and [[Christology]]. It clearly demonstrates that the Son has eternal pre-existence with the Father. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of the [[Gospels]], [[St. John the Apostle|John]] has the highest [[Christology]]. Here [[Jesus]] is the only begotten Son of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the True Vine, etc. In [[John 1:1|1:1]], [[St. John the Apostle|John]] identifies [[Jesus]] as the [[Logos]], that source which made the existence of the created world possible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Gordon Clark a [[Calvinism|Calvinist]] theologian and expert on pre-Socratic philosophy, famously translated [[Logos]] as "Logic": "In the beginning was the Logic, and the Logic was with God and the Logic was God." He meant to imply by this translation that the laws of logic were contained in the Bible itself and were therefore not a secular principle imposed on the Christian worldview. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Following [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] translations of the 18th Century, today most Chinese Bible translations use the word "Tao" in [[John 1:1]] to translate "Logos", following the use as "Idea" in Taoism. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In unitarian Christology there are other interpretations of John 1:1. In the commentaries on John ch.1 by Lelio Sozzini (Zurich, c.[[1559 AD|1559]]) and his nephew Fausto Sozzini (Lyons, c.[[1562 AD|1562]]) the "word" being "made flesh" is taken as a reference to the virgin birth, and not to the personal pre-existence of Christ. The passages in the New Testament referring to the Logos were explained by Fausto Sozzini as relating to the foreknown work of Christ as the author of the new creation, not as relating to the "old" Genesis creation. Fausto Sozzini aimed to "completely de-Platonize" the reading of John 1:1-[[John 1:15|15]]. | ||

Commentary
The phrase "the Word" (a translation of the Greek word "Logos") refers to Jesus Christ, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter (John 1:14). This verse set the stage for later developments in Trinitarian theology and Christology. It clearly demonstrates that the Son has eternal pre-existence with the Father.
Of the Gospels, John has the highest Christology. Here Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the True Vine, etc. In 1:1, John identifies Jesus as the Logos, that source which made the existence of the created world possible.
Gordon Clark a Calvinist theologian and expert on pre-Socratic philosophy, famously translated Logos as "Logic": "In the beginning was the Logic, and the Logic was with God and the Logic was God." He meant to imply by this translation that the laws of logic were contained in the Bible itself and were therefore not a secular principle imposed on the Christian worldview.
Following Jesuit translations of the 18th Century, today most Chinese Bible translations use the word "Tao" in John 1:1 to translate "Logos", following the use as "Idea" in Taoism.
In unitarian Christology there are other interpretations of John 1:1. In the commentaries on John ch.1 by Lelio Sozzini (Zurich, c.1559) and his nephew Fausto Sozzini (Lyons, c.1562) the "word" being "made flesh" is taken as a reference to the virgin birth, and not to the personal pre-existence of Christ. The passages in the New Testament referring to the Logos were explained by Fausto Sozzini as relating to the foreknown work of Christ as the author of the new creation, not as relating to the "old" Genesis creation. Fausto Sozzini aimed to "completely de-Platonize" the reading of John 1:1-15.

Christian apologist Justin Martyr (c 150) identified Jesus as the Logos:
- I shall give you another testimony, my friends, from the Scriptures, that God begot before all creatures a Beginning, [who was] a certain rational power [proceeding] from Himself, who is called by the Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son, again Wisdom, again an Angel, then God, and then Lord and Logos; (Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter 61.)
