As long as we are talking about John 1:1, I'd like to ask a question. PLease forgive me if this sounds simple, but I am a first year grk student. At the end of the verse, it says KAI THEOS HN HO LOGOS. In most translations I've seen (NIV, NRSV, etc.) it reads "...and the Word was God." My question: Why does THEOS not have an article? Could not this be translated "a God?" Why not? Leroy Huizenga Jamestown College, ND huizenga@acc.jc.edu
