Jesus in the Earliest Greek Witnesses: An Examination of Divinity, Flesh, and the Meaning of 'Begotten'
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper examines the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ in the earliest surviving Greek papyri (P66, P75), focusing on John 1:1–18 and the meaning of μονογενής (“unique / begotten”). Through literal, word-for-word analysis, it investigates how the earliest witnesses describe the relationship between the divine life of God and the flesh of Jesus. The study highlights linguistic and theological patterns that clarify how early Christians understood Jesus’ origin and nature, providing insight into the development of apostolic Christology. For readers seeking the complete argument and supporting analysis, my full work is available on Amazon: John 1 Reclaimed: The Apostolic Christ and the Monotheistic Word.
