"The prologue of the Gospel of John is one of the most hotly debated sections of scripture. It is also one of the most beautifully poetic sections in the Bible. Many argue that the words, ideas, and writing styles of the prologue show that it was composed at a later date than the remainder of John. Other scholars argue that the poetry of the section can be used to date it to the period of the writing of John. Even with this evidence, there is serious question as to the source of the ideas presented in the prologue. Further examination of the prologue using the poetry of the section along with some additional tools provides interesting and surprising insights into the original message and purpose of the work."
