LOGOS:
a term used by HERACLITUS (4th century B.C.) to speak about the rational law or principle which governs the universe. It was developed in STOICISM and PLATONISM eventually finding its way into CHRISTIANITY where it is used at the beginning of the Gospel of John and enabled CHRISTIAN APOLOGISTS to accommodate their religion to Greek PHILOSOPHY.
