| Summary: | It is remarkable how many of the names and titles of Christ already occur in the very first chapter of John's Gospel. One gets the impression that the author was so overpowered by His personality that he wanted to reflect something of this also in his writing. As W. Barclay justly remarks: ""The Fourth Gospel is the great - and successful - attempt to express something of the meaning of Jesus Christ in terms that both the Jew and the Greek could understand"". It is indeed this comprehensive approach of John which entails that his terminology - especially concerning Christ - is often extremely difficult to define in clearcut concepts. Many of his titles for Christ or his concepts used in connection with Christ are often very pregnant conceptions which allow various ways of interpretation. The title or predicate ""Only begotten"", which is under discussion, is seldom used by John but produces various interesting impressions of John's Christology. |
