John 1, 1–2.14, the incarnation of Jesus, Christology, theological and historical perspectiveAbstract
The author of article analyzing the sentence from John 1:14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory which only begotten [is] of the Father, full of grace and truth” comes to the conclusion that in this verse intersect together theological and historical perspective in looking at the mystery of Jesus Christ. Evangelist proposes balance between what today is called Christology from above (high or divine Christology) and bottom-up (low Christology), by showing that Christology can not be unilaterally theological or unilaterally historical. That Christology is rooted in the Scriptures of the Jews – in the Old Testament, which contains a hidden Christology (Old Testament approximation of the Incarnation) and allows to discover that Christ himself is Theology.
