Greece has become an important pin point in my life as I became interested in philosophy. It was from here that Socrates and his student Plato changed the course of world history. They began to interpret the ‘Logos’ first put forward by the Milesian philosopher Hereclitus, as an all encompassing force that shaped the creation of the world and maintained its order. This concept was proliferated by a succession of students from Socrates to his student Plato who in turn inspired Aristotle who enshrined what he learned in his young student Alexander the Great who brought the known world under a lingua franca, placing the Logos front and center of the greek mind.

Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled his role as the Logos, as written in the Gospel of John chapter 1. This colliding of cultures would make Jesus not only the Messiah of the Jews, bot also to the Greeks; etching the words of Jesus and the new testament writers and   accelerating the reach of the Gospel to the whole world.
