Logocentrism

Biblically, "The Word" can be understood to mean Revelation, that which is 
revealed.  Implicit in this definition is the understanding that the 
"Word's" message was previously hidden, occult, behind the veil.  The Word 
is a powerful agent in that it exposes a hidden Truth.  Revelation is a 
thought that cannot be deduced, is beyond the ken of the thinker.

If one were to try to align "The Word" with one of the Trinity's three, the 
"Holy Ghost" would be a good match, since the HG is the agent of Revelation, 
the medium for God's communication with man.  Without the gift of Revelation 
from the Christian God, human's are blind, deaf , and dumb.  That hidden 
realm is purely invisible without a map given from above.
