Isn't "logos" a term with quite a few different translations? It also seems to mean "reason", "argument" and "law". Perhaps the word "Word" has a special meaning here. "In the beginning was the Word" - what does that mean? Which word? You can ask a similar quesion about the phrase "the Word of God": did he really only ever utter a single word? Or does the phrase really refer to the entirety of Christian teaching? Is that barking street-preacher with a megaphone speaking the Word of God when he declares me to be a sinner? But the things he's saying are his words, they are not scripture. I think "In the beginning was the Word" is the most mysterious passage in the Bible. I used to think Revelation was mysterious. But Revelation is explicitly a description of a hallucination; the author doesn't claim to know what it means, or even that it means anything. The opening passage of John's gospel, on the other hand, purports to be stating unqualified facts.
