The Tapestry of Scripture: A guide to chiasmus and other literary patterns in the Bible (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780851895147)

The Tapestry of Scripture encourages Bible readers to discover for themselves the fascination and beauty of the word patterns and literary shapes woven into Scripture. Once these patterns are identified and appreciated, reading the Bible becomes more effective. Passages which may at first seem repetitive or confusing can now be seen as intricately crafted tapestries, organised around a central spiritual truth.

Understanding the shape of Scripture in this way helps unlock a deeper understanding of the intended meaning of the inspired prophets and apostles. All that it requires is careful reading, attention to detail, and patience. The Tapestry of Scripture assumes no prior knowledge of linguistics, literary theory or the original languages of the Bible. It will be a valuable guide for any keen Bible reader who wants to understand more about the remarkable ways in which God's Word has been written.
