This group is provided for those who have a special interest in the various rendering's of what is, in the view of some, the most discussed and debated scripture of any verse in the Bible - John 1:1.

Although many scholars have argued in favor of "and the Word was God" (typically the Trinitarian interpretation-translation for the Greek of the third clause), we are particularly interested in those works which have displayed appreciation for the need to convey the meaning of John's word's as something different; e.g. "a god," "divine," "a divine being," "god-like," "deity" [lower case d] and "god" [lower case g], etc.

The principal purpose of this group is to encourage the free exchange of information regarding the many scholarly discussions which have taken place on the various way's in which this verse has been rendered into English, not to the exclusion of other languages.

Although all are welcome to present specific information regarding various translations, explanations and/or interpretations of this verse, abusive and/or sarcastic speech will not be tolerated.

It is hoped that many will benefit from the collective efforts of all to provide some interesting and useful information, that is, to the serious, honest hearted student of the Bible.

* The manuscript pictured above is John 1:1-14 in the "uncial" or "majuscule" style of Koine Greek writing, a type of Greek using only upper case letters, with no spaces or punctuation. This work is dated at around the year 200 C.E., and coded as P66 of the Papyrus M. Martin Bodmer II Collection, located in the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, in Cologny (near Geneva), Switzerland.
