Are these usages merely homonymous, or would the ancients have recognized a more intimate relation between the word incarnate and the word proclaimed? This book investigates the concept of logos in pagan, Jewish and Christian thought, with a view to elucidating the polyphonic functions which the word acquired when used in theological discourse. Edwards presents a survey of theological applications of the term Logos in Greek, Jewish and Christian thought from Plato to Augustine and Proclus. Special focus is placed on: the relation of words to images in representation of divine realm, the relation between the logos within (reason) and the logos without (speech) both in linguistics and in Christology, the relation between the incarnate Word and the written text, and the place of reason in the interpretation of revelation.Ashgate studies in philosophy & theology in late antiquity.Logos (Philosophy)Philosophy, AncientLogos (Christian theology)History of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600IncarnationChristianityJudaismLogos (Philosophy)Philosophy, Ancient.Logos (Christian theology)History of doctrinesIncarnation.Christianity.Judaism.232.2Edwards M.
