The Doctrine of Logos in Christianity

Year 2011, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 201 - 224, 01.03.2011

Abstract

After doctrine of Logos had been discussed by Heraclitus, Plato, Stoics, Philo and Jewish philosophers, it is transferred to the theology and philosophy of Christianity via the Gospel of John. In this article, first, some brief information about historical background of the doctrine has been given. Then, the beings that have been existed before the universe created (Eternal Messiah, Holy Spirit and Logos) in the New Testament were also examined. In this paper, the ideas of early time Christian theologians about the doctrine of Logos and its relation between the trinity also have been shown by classifying their opinions. In conclusion, our findings are presented as a summary and some assessments have been done on the relations of philosophy and theology in Christianity in terms of the doctrine of Logos.

Hıristiyanlıkta Logos Doktrini The Doctrine of Logos in Christianity

Year 2011, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 201 - 224, 01.03.2011

Abstract

Logos doktrini, Herakleitos, Platon, Stoacılar, Philo ve Yahudi felsefesinde ele alınıp tartışıldıktan sonra, Yuhanna İncili vasıtasıyla Hıristiyan teolojisi ve felsefesine de nüfuz etmiştir. Bu makale, Logos doktrininin tarihi gelişimini kısa bir ön bilgi olarak verdikten sonra, Yeni Ahit’te âlem yaratılmadan önce var oldukları kabul edilen varlıklar (ezelî Mesih, Ruh, Logos) hakkındaki görüşleri ele almaktadır. Makalede ayrıca ilk dönem Hıristiyan yazarların Logos doktrini hakkındaki farklı görüşleri, teslis doktriniyle bağlantılı bir şekilde tasnif edilerek verilmektedir. Sonuç kısmında bulgular kısa bir özet halinde sunulmakta ve Logos doktrini ekseninde Hıristiyanlıkta felsefe-teoloji ilişkileri hakkında değerlendirmeler yapılmaktadır.
