John's Prologue: How 18 Verses Map the Entire Gospel

John's Gospel opens not with a birth or baptism but with a philosophical claim about the nature of reality. This video examines why the Prologue (John 1:1-18) is structurally and theologically unlike anything in Matthew, Mark, or Luke — and how it functions as a thematic table of contents for the entire Gospel. We trace the deliberate echo of Genesis 1:1, the philosophical distinction between 'being' and 'coming into being,' the threefold repetition that hammers home the Word's eternal status, and how each theme introduced in the Prologue — light, darkness, birth from God, glory, the Father-Son relationship — resurfaces throughout the Gospel's extended discourses and fully developed characters. Key concepts covered: • The Genesis-John parallel and the philosophical weight of 'was' vs. 'came into being' • Being vs. coming into being: the Prologue's central ontological distinction • The Prologue as thematic map — how verses 1-18 preview John 3, 8, 9, and beyond • John the Baptist's subordination and the unique phrase 'God the only Son' (v.18) • Synoptic vs. Johannine style: action-driven episodes vs. discourse-driven scenes • Character development in John: Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman compared to synoptic unnamed types • Pre-existence as a claim unique to John among the four Gospels • A practical reading method: using the Prologue to track themes through the Gospel ——————————————————— ORIGINAL SOURCE ——————————————————— This video distills ideas from the following source:    • 11. Johannine Christianity: The Gospel   All credit for the original scholarship and argumentation belongs to the original creator(s).
