Gospel Notes
In this quintessential protological (literally!) passage, the Christ is portrayed as the Incarnation ("enfleshment") of the Word (Logos) that, like the Jewish concept of Wisdom, was active in creation. But unlike Wisdom, which had been seen as the first creature, the Logos is here depicted as the uncreated, creative dynamic that was with God from the very beginning, and, presumably, active in history forever.
