AB Few verses have defined Christian identity and informed attitudes to other religions more than John 14.6. But who is the ‘I’ in ‘I am the way and the truth and the life’? After exploring antecedents and considering indicators within the Gospel itself, this article concludes that the Evangelist not only distinguishes between Jesus of Nazareth and the divine Logos, but also identifies the divine Logos incarnated in Jesus as the subject of this and other ‘I am’ sayings within John.
