Great list BTW....had to track them all down. Fascinating and edifying, to say the least!

What say you to adding Proverbs 8 to this list?

I did think about adding Proverbs 8, but I wanted to think about it a bit more. It’s a complex text when thinking about how it relates to the Logos in John 1. I’m particularly concerned about Proverbs 8 v 22

Lord of Spirits did a great job explaining this on their recent podcast, so I’ll probably include it in the list.

You are wise to be cautious with this passage, I agree...I wonder if this 'sending forth' (NIV) is of the same vein as 'God sent his Son'?

Like Jesus was sent to establish the order/reason/wisdom/logos of Creation. This would expand Colossians 1:15-19, a bit.
