The study explores the transition from the pre-existent Logos to the incarnate Christ in John's Prologue, specifically analyzing John 1:1-18. It identifies the narrative shift and interprets the passage's segments (vss. 1-5; 6-13; 14-18) through a detailed textual analysis. By evaluating various perspectives, the book reveals the chronological order of the narrative, emphasizing that the climax is not merely the announcement of the incarnation but a deep theological reflection rooted in covenantal traditions and prophetic expectations from the exodus story.
