Abstract
This article aims to study the debate between Marcellus of Ancyra and Eusebius of Caesareaon the interpretation of the Gospel of John, as relected in De ecclesiastica theologia. Weirst examine Marcellus’ and Eusebius’ interpretation of John 10:30, 10:38, and 14:9. We thenproceed to examine their exegeses of John 1:1, which provides the foundation for their interpretivedifferences. We conclude that the main difference between Marcellus and Eusebius,each of whom represents a different theological tradition, is the way they understand the termλόγος in the Prologue of the Gospel of John.
