‘Papyrological Perspectives on Luke’s Predecessors (Luke 1.1)’

By Peter M. Head, in The New Testament in its First Century Context: Essays on Context and Background in Honour of B.W. Winter on His 65th Birthday (eds. P.J. Williams; A.D. Clarke; D.I. Brewer; P.M. Head; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2004), 30–45.

This paper, presented in a Festschrift to Bruce Winter, uses papyrological resources to consider three words in Luke 1.1. It offers an important corrective to Loveday Alexander's work on Luke's prologue and demonstrates how papyrological material can be integrated with other aspects of our knowledge of the ancient world in order to illuminate the NT text. (with thanks to Bruce for his constant encouragement to do just that)
