Famously, St. John opens his Gospel by stating, “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” The Greek word used here is Λόγος, and as many have noted, by using this term, John seemingly alludes to Hellenic philosophy, wherein the Logos is the divine logic or reason that undergirds all reality; the point being: the divine principle of creation, that even the philosophers recognized, has become incarnate in the person of Christ.
