However, after these initial verses, the theme of God's Word incarnate seems to fade. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe silence is only apparent. In \u003ci\u003eThe Word from the Beginning\u003c\/i\u003e, Bruce G. Schuchard reunites John's prologue with the rest of his Gospel. What Jesus \u003ci\u003edoes\u003c\/i\u003e in the Gospel embodies who Jesus \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e in the prologue. Jesus's words and actions reveal and unfold his unique identity as the Word. Jesus is indeed God's Word enfleshed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis theological reading of John's Gospel unifies Jesus's identity, words, and work, opening up implications for Johannine Christology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce G.
