I am not OP, in fact I never even read the book. I had it on a wishlist for a while, but >>18852083 dissuaded me a bit. Might still read it though.
>he wasn't a *mere* human being, while he is also a human being he is also the Logos that existed before time
I can get behind this, but my problem is that this cannot lead to the "Christ alone" dogma, because Logos is necessarily without time, place, etc. and thus above Jesus qua human. One would have to admit that Lao Tzu, the Buddha, Plotinus, Shankara, Ibn-Arabi, and many other teachers of the Timeless (including many Christian saints--John of the Cross and Meister Eckhart come to mind) provide valid doctrines as well, especially for those credited with miracles. I could see how one could read "only through me" as "only through the Logos" and thus include a broader umbrella, but every Christian I have spoken to so far has insisted that this is a heretical interpretation, and that *only* Jesus is Logos.

He is very distinctly esoteric, anti-modern, and anti-popular, how could it be any other way?
