In today's lesson, we delve into the profound concept of the Logos, a pivotal term from John's Gospel that bridges Greek philosophy and biblical theology. We begin by exploring the Greek word 'Logos,' traditionally translated as "Word," and its deep roots in ancient philosophical texts, including its usage by philosophers like Heraclitus and later by the Stoics. We uncover how Logos was understood in the first-century Greco-Roman world—not just as a word but as a fundamental principle of rationality and order in the cosmos. The lesson highlights how the Gospel of John presents Jesus as the divine Logos—embodying reason, order, and the active principle that continuously shapes the universe. Join us to explore how this ancient concept enriches our understanding of Jesus as the "Word of God" and our interpretation of the scriptures.
