About this listen

Recorded in 1996. Bishop Williamson continues his commentary on the Prologue of St. John (verses 6–14), moving from the eternal existence of the Word to His entry into history.

Key topics include:

    • The Witness: The distinction between the Uncreated Light (The Word) and the created light (John the Baptist).

    • The Tragedy of Rejection: "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." A theological look at the rejection of Christ by the Jewish leadership.

    • Adoptive Sonship: How belief in His name gives us the power to become the "sons of God"—not by nature, but by grace.

    • Et Verbum Caro Factum Est: A profound defense of the Incarnation against the Docetist heresy (which claimed Christ only "seemed" human). The Bishop explains why the reality of Christ’s flesh and blood is essential for salvation.
