What is the meaning of the ancient Greek word logos?
In ancient Greek, logos meant 'word', but this meaning gradually extended to include other concepts such as speech, thought, reason, principle and logic. In the Platonic school of philosophy, Logos became the principle of unity, order and reason within the universe, and later came to refer to a kind of subsidiary god or divine force, an emanation of the deity.
The word Logos entered Hellenistic Judaism under the influence of Philo, an Alexandrian Jew, as a paraclete or emanation of his God. In Quaestiones in Genesi II.62 Philo called the Logos a "second God" who is subordinate to the Supreme God. At the same time, Philo also sought to maintain monotheism by asserting that the Logos is not really distinct from God. Eventually, the concept of Logos entered Christianity, with Jesus as the Logos or Word.
