Synopsis

Exploring how Scripture uses parallel lines to reveal a threefold renewal of the heart, mind, and will.

This non‑fiction work analyzes key biblical passages, including the Decalogue and the Sermon on the Mount, to show how parallelism structures spiritual truth. It discusses a threefold inner transformation and how mercy, purity, and peace arise from becoming truly alive to our needs before God. The study links these themes to broader biblical teaching and to famous Christian writings, offering a clearer view of how Scripture presents personal renewal and ethical living.

  • A clear framework for understanding Beatitudes and their progression toward renewal.
  • Connections between mercy, purity, and peace as the heart of Christian growth.
  • Analysis of how these themes relate to other New Testament and biblical passages.
  • Practical insights for readers seeking to apply Scriptural principles to daily life.
Ideal for readers of biblical theology, sermon preparation, and thoughtful Christian reflection.
