Theologians
have ascribed a variety of attributes to the various conceptions of God.
In Christology,
the conception that Jesus is the Logos (a Greek
word meaning "word", "wisdom", or "reason") has
been important in establishing the doctrine of Jesus' divinity, as
well as that of the Trinity, as set forth in the Chalcedonian Creed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcedonian_Creed
(The Confession
of Chalcedon (also Definition or Creed of Chalcedon) was
adopted at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 in Asia Minor.
That Council of Chalcedon is one of the seven ecumenical councils accepted by Eastern
Orthodox, Catholic, and many Protestant Christian churches. It is the first
Council not recognized by any of the Oriental Orthodox churches.)
The
conception derives from the opening of the Gospel
of John: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God." In the original Greek, Logos is used, and in
theological discourse, this is often left untranslated.
Christian
theologians to this day still debate whether the Divine Being and logos
are analogous, synonymous, or distinct.[1]
Many
have seen this as evidence that there was a syncretism
between (Christian) Christology and (secular) Platonism.
The debate about the nature of Christ from the first century through the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE must be understood
in light of the pervasive world view of Platonic dualism.[not in citation given] Platonism
is normally divided into four periods: Old Academy 347-267 BC, New Academy
267-80 BC, Middle Platonism 80BC-250 AD, and Neoplatonism 250 AD through to the
Reformation[2].

The Gospel
of John (literally, According to John; Greek,
Κατά Ιωαννην, Kata
Iōannēn) is the fourth gospel in the canon
of the New Testament, traditionally ascribed to John the Evangelist. Like the three synoptic
gospels, it contains an account of some of the actions and sayings of Jesus, but differs
from them in ethos
and theological emphases. The purpose is expressed in the conclusion, 20:30-31: "...these [Miracles
of Jesus] are written that you may (come to) believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,
and that through this belief you may have life in his name.[1]
Of the
four gospels, John presents the highest Christology,
describing him as the Logos (Word) who existed from the beginning, teaching at
length about his identity as the only savior, and (according to the trinitarian
tradition) declaring him to be God.[2]
Compared
to the Synoptic Gospels, John focuses on Jesus' mission
to redeem
humanity. Only in John does Jesus talk at length about himself, including a
substantial amount of material Jesus shared with the disciples only. Certain
elements of the synoptics (such as parables,
exorcisms,
and the Second Coming) are not found in John.
Since
"the higher criticism" of the 19th
century, some historians have largely rejected the gospel of John as a reliable
source of information about the historical
Jesus.[3][4]
"[M]ost commentators regard the work as anonymous,"[5]
and date it to 90-100.
