"I am not aware of any NT document written by Paul
personally. I suppose one could speculate that he
wrote one or more, but it would be just that, speculation".
The Letter to Philemon may have been personally written by
Paul. EGW PAULOS EGRAYA TH EMH XEIRI (19). Fitzmyer in
"The Letter to Philemon" (p 118) notes that "the whole of this
short letter may be an autograph" as claimed by Jerome,
Lightfoot, Benoit and Stuhlmacher. It is difficult to envisage that
their studies were merely speculation.
BTY Michael Holmes writes:
" Re the role of an amanuensis in the writing of Paul's letters:
the foundational book is E. Randolph Richards, The Secretary in
the Letters of Paul (1991)".
Jerome Murphy-O'Connor in his "Paul the Letter-Writer" (The
Liturgical Press, Collegeville, Minnesota, 1995) in a very
readable way outlines the role of secretaries in early Christian
times.
