The Symbol of Saint John's Gospel is a Soaring Eagle, lifting itself beyond the ordinary. The "Prologue" is the famous LOGOS passage in which THE WORD when uttered, brought into being the very thing meant by that word. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God ..." That's the introduction. It was "by the Word (Jesus)" that all things came into being. LOGO, in the Greek, means WORD, a word uttered. God said, "Let there be . . . ' and whatever those words intended, came into being. Similarly God says, "You are forgiven," and indeed you are! This Gospel grapples with the ultimate philosophical and theological questions such as "beginnings,' ' '' creation,'' '' salvation" on a scholarly level rather than a narrative. This is, in fact, a theological treatise. So it's appropriate, we believe, to place Rodin's THE THINKER quite frontally in this window of "The Thinking Man's Gospel."
