The Symmetrical Structure Of Scripture: Or The Principles Of Scripture Parallelism Exemplified (1854)

The Symmetrical Structure Of Scripture: Or The Principles Of Scripture Parallelism Exemplified is a book written by John Forbes and published in 1854. The book explores the concept of parallelism in the Bible, which refers to the repetition of similar phrases or ideas in different parts of the text. Forbes argues that this parallelism is not random, but rather a deliberate structural element of the Bible that reflects the divine inspiration of the text. The book is organized into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of parallelism in the Bible. Forbes provides numerous examples of parallelism from different parts of the Bible, including the Psalms, Proverbs, and the prophetic books. He also discusses the different types of parallelism, such as synonymous, antithetical, and synthetic parallelism. Forbes argues that the symmetrical structure of the Bible is evidence of its divine origin, and that understanding this structure can help readers to better understand the message of the text. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes numerous footnotes and references to other works on the subject of parallelism in the Bible. Overall, The Symmetrical Structure Of Scripture: Or The Principles Of Scripture Parallelism Exemplified is a detailed and scholarly exploration of the concept of parallelism in the Bible. It provides readers with a deeper understanding of the structure and meaning of the text, and is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology and biblical studies.In An Analysis Of The Decalogue, The Sermon On The Mount, And Other Passages Of The Sacred Writings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
