About This Book

A series of essays and letters answers an anonymous correspondent and wider contemporary questions by reconstructing and commenting on an ancient anti-Christian treatise preserved through Origen, using that material to examine how the Logos idea influenced early Christian teaching. The author highlights the relation between language and thought and offers a concise, popular apologia that interprets the Fourth Gospel's Logos in clear, nontechnical terms. The discussion moves across various religious debates with an intimate, conciliatory tone that seeks common ground between sacred literature and personal belief.
