But the Prologue to John's Gospel actually is very philosophical. Read more
about it in the reference materials, such as Kittel, BAGD, etc. LOGOS was a
very important term in Greek philosophy. Someone clearly was trying to send
some kind of, uh, ... message, when they used LOGOS in the Prologue instead
of some other more "Christianized" term.
