This week BibleWorm begins the Gospel of John - chapter 1: 1-18. We slide between John’s images of Word and Light and Life, and Grace and Truth, and try to hold all of them in our hearts, if not in our minds, at once. We try to place ourselves historically as we read, recognizing in this poetic, mystical, and awfully complex bit of text the peak of the period of differentiation between the Jewish community and this budding Christian one - and we grapple with the best way to read and understand these in our very different historical context.
