Many Trinitarians turn to John chapter 1 for evidence that Jesus is God and that therefore somehow God is a Trinity. But does John 1 describe God as a Trinity? Are any of the Trinitarian claims about the Triune god presented in John 1?

To investigate the Trinitarian claims about John 1, we use the chapter called “A Master Piece: the Prologue of John” from Dr. James White’s book The Forgotten Trinity. Dr. White thinks that John 1 gives evidence that God is Triune. But we will see that none of the characteristics with which Dr. White defines the Trinity are found in John 1.

We suggest a better way to interpret John’s opening verses. John is intentionally appropriating language from Genesis 1, but is describing the new creation of God in and through the man Christ Jesus.
