The "'''Word'''" expresses the conception that '''Christ''' is '''the ''Logos''''' (''λóγος'', the [[Greek]] for "word", "wisdom" or "reason") has been important in establishing the doctrine of the [[divinity]] of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] and his position as [[Eternal Son|God the Son]] in the [[Trinity]].
The "'''Word'''" expresses the conception that '''Christ''' is '''the ''Logos''''' (''λóγος'', the [[Greek]] for "word", "wisdom" or "reason") has been important in establishing the doctrine of the [[divinity]] of [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]] and his position as [[Eternal Son|God the Son]] in the [[Trinity]].
The conception derives from the opening of the [[Gospel of John]]: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with [[God]], and the Word was God." In the original Greek, ''Logos'' is used, and in theological [[discourse]], this is often left untranslated. ''Word'' and related terms in earlier Jewish [[tradition]] prepared the way for its use here to denote Jesus as revealer of the unseen God (see Wisdom 9:1-4, 9, 17-18; Ecclesiasticus 24:1-12). Christian theologians to this day still debate whether the Divine Being and ''logos'' are analogous, synonymous, or distinct.[http://jkalb.freeshell.org/more/doctrine.html The Doctrine of the Logos]

Many have seen this as evidence that there was a [[syncretism]] between Christology and [[Platonism]]. The debate about the [[nature]] of [[Jesus|Christ]] from the first century through the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE must be understood in light of the pervasive [[worldview]] of ''Platonic [[dualism]]''. Platonism is normally divided into four periods: Old Academy 347-267 BC, New Academy 267-80 BC, Middle Platonism 80BC-250 AD, and Neoplatonism 250 AD through to the Reformation [http://www.iep.utm.edu/n/neoplato.htm]
