"The Word was God" or "The Word was a god?" - John 1:1

How should we translate John 1:1, "the Word was God," or "the word was a God?" Join Courtney and Ryan as they break down the Greek of this theologically significant passage! The New World Translation's famous (or infamous) translation of θεος ην ό λογος as "the word was a god" challenges the orthodox interpretation of this historically significant text. Is it right to assume that the lack of the Greek article means that "god" is indefinite? We'll explain in full.
