ABSTRACT
There I read, not of course in these words, but with entirely the same sense and supported by numerous and varied reasons, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God . . . All things were made by him . . . What was made is life in him; and the life was the light of men. And the light shone in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” Moreover, the soul of man, although it bears witness of the light, is “not that light,” but God the Word is himself “the true light which illuminates every man coming into the world.”
