Scholars often try to isolate various parts of the Bible from each other missing the important connections. As a result of this, until recently the book of John was considered of lesser value than the other gospels. In this Bible study Mr. Smith shows some of the current understanding that presents the true value of this book. Many scholars disagree about the meaning of the Greek term logs (the word) in John 1:1. Mr. Smith shows that this word connects back to the Old Testament word YHVH (the LORD).
