Awakening to the Logos: Week 5
We have been taught that Christ is the First-born of God, and we have declared above that He is the Logos [Divine Intelligence, Principle, Word) of whom every race of humans were partakers; and those who lived reasonably are Christians, even though they have been thought atheists; as, among the Greeks, Socrates and Heraclitus, and people like them…. And those of the Stoic school – since, so far as their moral teaching went, they were admirable, as were also the poets in some particulars, on account of the seed of the Logos implanted in every race of humans…. For each person spoke well in proportion to the share they had of the seed of the Logos, seeing what was related to It…. Whatever things were rightly said among all people, are the property of us Christians… For all the writers were able to see realities darkly through the sowing of the implanted Logos that was in them. -Justin Martyr (d. 165 A.D.)
