Description

"Jesus as the Logos: Philosophical Insights from the Gospel of John" by William Henderson offers an in-depth exploration of the profound philosophical themes found in the Gospel of John, specifically focusing on the concept of the Logos. This book analyzes how the Gospel of John presents Jesus not only as the divine Son of God but also as the Logos—the Word through which all creation came into being. Henderson delves into the intersection of Greek philosophy, particularly Stoicism and Platonism, with Jewish theological concepts to uncover the deeper philosophical and metaphysical implications of the Logos. The book discusses how the Gospel's portrayal of Jesus as the Logos engages with notions of truth, reason, and divine order, offering a transformative perspective on faith, knowledge, and salvation. Through careful examination of key passages in John, this work illuminates the theological and philosophical significance of Jesus as the Logos, revealing how these insights contribute to a broader understanding of Christian doctrine and its philosophical roots. The book is an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the intersection of philosophy, theology, and biblical studies.
