Some of what I did here was a result of an experience in Nepal. I was struggling to explain how to find the main theme of a book and worked through 2 Peter with the group paragraph by paragraph showing how by looking at the relationships between the paragraphs the theme emerges.<br /><br />In an overview, I typically stay at chapter or more level. This time due in part to the length of Mark, I thought I would try looking at paragraphs. It was helpful. Looking at the relationships between the paragraphs has opened up another facet of observation.<br /><br />In Prof's 8 part on Synthetic Bible Study he discusses the relationships between paragraphs in Jonah. I typically do not get to that level of analysis until I am doing the section by section work. But in this case I was looking at the top level relationships.<br /><br />It is an ongoing experiment and a work in progress.Mike Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971102076711413290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400340423678181828.post-13338353010718692442015-01-05T01:39:20.764-06:002015-01-05T01:39:20.764-06:00Is your illustration to this post, Mike, a result ...Is your illustration to this post, Mike, a result of your overview of Mark?<br />Trying to understand your approach... Do you initially divide the book into columns according to traditional chapters? (This should work for books with not many chapters). For example 16 columns per 16 chapters of Mark. Or using another principle? Konstantinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840677349714746404noreply@blogger.com
