The Symmetrical Structure of Scripture: Or, the Principles of Scripture Parallelism, Exemplified in an Analysis of the Decalogue, the Sermon on the ... of the Sacred Writings (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of Hebrew poetry, exploring a unique structure known as "Parallelism." The author, a scholar of the Bible, argues that this specific form of poetic arrangement, characterized by a correspondence of ideas rather than sounds, is not confined to the Old Testament but extends throughout the New Testament as well. He challenges the notion that parallelism is merely a stylistic flourish, asserting that it is a key to unlocking the deeper meaning and interconnectedness of Scripture. By examining verses, paragraphs, and even entire compositions like the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments, the author reveals how parallelism reveals hidden layers of meaning, emphasizes key points, and guides the reader through complex theological concepts. The book examines various types of parallelism, from synonymous and antithetic forms to the more intricate introverted parallelism, showcasing how these structures enhance the clarity and memorability of the sacred text. The author demonstrates how a careful analysis of these structures, particularly in the Psalms and the Gospels, leads to a richer understanding of the spiritual lessons and truths conveyed by Scripture. This book offers a compelling and insightful exploration of a little-known aspect of biblical composition, empowering readers to engage with Scripture in a deeper and more meaningful way.
