Originally presented as the author's dissertation (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) under the title Graphe in the Letters to Timothy. Foreword / Ray Van Neste -- What is graphe? : Thesis and introduction -- The authorship and unity of the Letters to Timothy -- 1 Timothy : tracing discourse and semantics relative to graphe -- Graphe with reference to the immediate literary context of 1 Timothy -- 2 Timothy : tracing discourse and semantics relative to graphe -- Graphe with reference to the immediate literary context of 2 Timothy -- Graphe in Philo, Josephus, the LXX, the New Testament, and the Apostolic Fathers -- Conclusion : graphe in the Letters to Timothy. Analysis of the literary scheme of the letters to Timothy suggests that graphe, as it is employed in each letter, may legitimately be understood to include some of the apostolic writings that now appear in the New Testament. In affirming the Pauline authorship of the Pastoral Epistles, Swinson argues that a form of the Gospel of Luke stands as the source of the second referent of graphe in 1 Tim 5:18. Second, Swinson contends that pasa graphe in 2 Tim 3:16 includes the apostolic writings extant in Paul's day, specifically Luke's Gospel and some of Paul's own writings. These parallel lines of analysis demonstrate that Paul ascribes to his own writings and to those of his coworkers an authoritative standing equal to that of the sacred writings (ta hiera grammata) found in the Old Testament. While many questions surrounding biblical authority and the biblical canon remain, Paul's use of graphe in 1 and 2 Timothy nevertheless advances a high view of both Old Testament and New Testament Scripture. - Publisher.
