LOGOS: The Word that Changed History

The video explores the concept of Logos and its evolution through Greek philosophy, Jewish theology, and Christian thought. It begins by defining Logos as a Greek term often translated as "Word," which signifies the process of thought becoming speech. The script traces its philosophical origins with Heraclitus and the Stoics, who saw it as a cosmic principle of order. Philo of Alexandria integrated Logos into Jewish philosophy, viewing it as a mediating principle between the divine and material worlds. The script highlights how Philo's ideas influenced early Christian theology, particularly in the writings of Paul and John, where Logos is identified with Christ as the divine Word and generative principle of the universe. The video concludes by emphasizing the theological significance of Logos as a bridge between Jewish, Greek, and early Christian thought.
