The Language of God, Mind, and Logos

[Philosurfer (Daniel Deen)]

In several passages in the writings of John ὁ λόγος denotes the essential Word of God, i. e. the personal (hypostatic) wisdom and power in union with God, his minister in the creation and government of the universe, the cause of all the world’s life both physical and ethical, which for the procurement of man’s salvation put on human nature in the person of Jesus the Messiah and shone forth conspicuously from his words and deeds:

am very resistant to grounding conception of God in platonic or philosophical defiitions. God is not a worldview. He is not merely a “mind” or a “designer.” Instead, it seems central to our faith to ground our definiton and knowledge of God in Jesus .

I’ll take a look at those embodied cognition articles. I know nothing about it, but I’ve been seeing books and anthologies in my inbox from philosophical presses exploring the implications of embodied cognition.
