One Source of Truth

The Doctrine of the Graphē · Word drill course

Sixteen Word-drill lessons on γραφή (graphē), Holy Writ as the written authority for truth. The course opens Hebrews 5: ἄπειρος (apeiros), the unskilled; νήπιος (nēpios), the babe; and σπουδάζω (spoudazō), diligent labour in the Word. The course is a pedagogical pathway through the complete 85-chapter Work. It serves the Graphē; it does not replace the Work, and it is not a seventh first principle.

1. 1. Movement I — Truth and the possibility of knowledge

   Read the opening investigation as an argument: truth, reality, knowledge, evidence, reasoning, sound judgment, reasonability, and ultimate authority. Reference: Chapters 1–8.

4. 4. Movements VI–VIII — Christ, Scripture, canon, and the verdict of the Graphē
