In Scripture, Logos is the title given to Jesus Christ in John 1:1 — the eternal, personal Word of God who was with God, was God, and through whom all things were made. John's use of "Logos" simultaneously addresses Jewish readers (for whom the "Word of God" was God's creative and revelatory agent) and Greek readers (for whom logos was the rational principle behind the universe), declaring that both their intuitions find their fulfillment in the person of Jesus. The Logos is not an abstract principle or a divine emanation — He is a He, a Person who "became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14).
LOGOS — (Greek, the Word) — A term used by St. John in the beginning of his gospel, to express the second person of the Trinity. It corresponds to the Hebrew Memra and Dabar — the Word or Expression of God. The Logos is eternal, personal, and divine — the self-expression of God, through whom the world was created and through whom God speaks definitively to humanity.
Modern philosophy retains "logos" as a secular concept — rational discourse, logical argument — entirely stripped of its Christological content. Postmodernism, conversely, has attacked the very concept of logos (rational order) as a Western power construct (Derrida's "logocentrism"), declaring reason itself oppressive. Both moves abandon the biblical claim that ultimate Reason is personal — that the ground of all truth, meaning, and order is not an abstraction but the incarnate Lord Jesus Christ, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col. 2:3).
John 1:1–3 — "In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him."
John 1:14 — "And the Word [Logos] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory."
Colossians 2:3 — "In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
Revelation 19:13 — "He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which He is called is The Word of God."
Hebrews 1:2 — "In these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world."
G3056 — λόγος (logos) — word, reason, account; the supreme NT title for Christ, used 330 times; in John 1 as the personal, divine, pre-existent Son.
H1697 — דָּבָר (dabar) — word, thing, matter; God's creative and revelatory word in the OT; the Hebrew background to the NT Logos concept (cf. Ps. 33:6; Isa. 55:11).
John's identification of Jesus as the Logos declares that all human longings for rational order, ultimate meaning, and divine communication find their answer in a Person — not a philosophy.
The Logos "becoming flesh" is the most stunning claim in human history: the eternal Reason behind the universe entered the universe as a helpless infant in Bethlehem.
Christian scholarship flows from the conviction that because the Logos orders all reality, all true knowledge coheres — science, history, ethics, and beauty are not enemies of the Gospel but tributaries pointing toward Him.
