But what is the import of this conclusion (on this limited topic)? John is written last. So lets say the author like Philo and was very familiar with the concept of logos in his work. The author also finds this notion of logos elegantly conveys several shades of the meaning he was trying to convey about Christ. Maybe it even serves as a missionary tool among the Greeks or those steeped in their philosophy. Apart from the larger issue of whether we are Christian or Greek philosophers, which I assume you are also trying to push, what is the significance of this point?
