(This section is adapted from Douglas Estes’s entry on logos in Lexham Bible Dictionary .) The Greek word logos simply means “word.” However, along with this most basic definition comes a host of quasi-technical and technical uses of the word logos in the Bible, as well as in ancient Greek literature. Its most famous usage is John 1:1: The standard...
Logos in the Gospel of John
The leading use of logos in its unique sense occurs in the opening chapter of John’s Gospel. This chapter introduces the idea that Jesus is the Word: the Word that existed prior to creation, the Word that exists in connection to God, the Word that is God, and the Word that became human, cohabited with people, and possessed a glory that can only be described as the glory of God (John 1:1, 14). As the Gospel of John never uses logos in this unique, technical manner again after the first chapter...
Logos in the remainder of the New Testament
There are two other unique, personified uses of logosin the New Testament, both of which are found in the Johannine literature. 1. In 1 John 1:1, Jesus is referred to as the “Word of life”; both “word” and “life” are significant to John, as this opening to the first letter is related in some way to the opening of the Gospel. 2. In Revelation 19:13, the returning Messiah is called the “Word of God,” as a reference to his person and work as both the revealed and the revealer. All of the remaini...
Logos in the Old Testament
The Old Testament (LXX, or Septuagint, the translation of the Old Testament into Greek) use of logos closely matches both standard and special New Testament uses. As with the New Testament, most uses of logos in the Old Testament fit within the standard semantic range of “word” as speech, utterance, or word. The LXX does make regular use of logos to specify the “word of the Lord” (e.g., Isa 1:10, where the LXX translates דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה, davar yahweh), relating to the special proclamation of Go...
Much of what John says about the Logos can be found in Jewish literature about “divine Wisdom.” This means texts where Wisdom is “personified” probably circulated well before John wrote,6 so readers would have had some understanding of the idea behind Jesus as the Logos. Hear from Ben Witherington III in his course, “The Wisdom of John,” on the rol...
According to Brian K. Gamel in his entry inLexham Bible Dictionary on the Greek background of logos, the word acquired “special significance for ancient Greek philosophical concepts of language and the faculty of human thinking.” He says: Logos eventually came to communicate the idea of “giving an account,” in the sense of explaining a story. Havin...
(This section on the historical background of the concept of logos is from Douglas Estes’s entry on logos in the Lexham Bible Dictionary.) Many theories have been proposed attempting to explain why the Gospel of John introduces Jesus as the Word.
The logos concept was a foundational idea for theological development from the start of the early church. Perhaps the earliest Christian document after the New Testament is 1 Clement (c. AD 95–97), in which the author insertslogos in its special usage of God’s revelation (1 Clement 13:3). First Clement may also contain the first existing unique, te...
The logos concept continues to influence Western culture. It is foundational to Christian belief. The Greek idea of logos (with variant connotations) was also a major influence in Heraclitus (c. 540–480 BC), Isocrates (436–338 BC), Aristotle (384–322 BC), and the Stoics, even becoming part of ancient popular culture (Philo). The concept has continu...
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words (logos) will not pass away.
Everyone who comes to me and hears my words (logos) and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God.
There are more than three hundred uses of logos in the New Testament alone, but the Septuagint (LXX)—the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures—uses logos hundreds of times too.
