This tradition they expressed as follows: to bring together the best aspects of each theological institution and each region in order to provide the Church, universities and society with a better theological service and collaboration.

Such a process refers to the growing autonomy of individuals in developing their own values and norms, increasingly turning away from traditional and institutionalised value systems. Individualisation and its concomitant secularisation is believed to be an ongoing and irreversible social process. What follows is an abridged comparative report based on results from the third wave of the Values Survey undertaken for the Maltese Government by Misco International (1995) in comparison to similar surveys held in ten western European countries and in Malta by Gallup in 1984 and 1991.

The reasons are not difficult to divine: the prologue is important and hard to understand. The present study suggests an interpretation of the prologue. The study does not attempt a "proof' for what will be suggested; it will simply offer a number of indications which, to the present writer at least, commend themselves as plausible l)by reason of the unified view of the prologue which they represent and, 2) by the reason of their agreement with various aspects of the rest of John's Gospel. That is to say, two suppositions of the present study are 1) that the prologue of John's Gospel is a unified whole and, 2), that it has a close relation to John's Gospel as a whole.
