Logos Christology
In the beginning was the Word — and the Word became flesh
Logos Christology confesses Christ as the eternal Word, or Logos, of God, through whom all things were made and who became flesh. The opening of John's Gospel proclaims this, and early thinkers such as Justin Martyr developed it, relating the divine Word to creation and revelation. By identifying Jesus with God's eternal Word, this teaching affirms his divine origin and his role as the agent of creation and the One made human.
