Commentary on John 1.1 [8 pages]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
To fully understand any passage of Scripture, it is imperative to study the context. To fully understand John 1:1, the rest of the chapter needs to be understood as well, and the rest of the chapter adds more understanding to John 1:1. We believe that these notes on John 1:1, read together with the rest of John 1 and our notes on John 1:3,10,14,15, and 18 will help make the entire first chapter of John more understandable.

What is the Word in John 1.1?
by Vince Finnegan [46:27]
rated at 2 (out of 8 votes)
The first verse of the Gospel of John is almost always used as a starting point to prove the Trinity. However, is there another way to read John 1.1: a way that makes sense of the overall context of Jewish Monotheism? Is "the word" the pre-incarnate Son of God or is there a more Hebrew way to approach the prologue of John?
