Summary, etc. | This paper is intended to be a part of a textbook for learning how to communicate in the Biblical fashion of parallelism. The research question was threefold: Can systematic methodologies be developed that equips ministers to better understand the Biblical message by learning Hebrew literary devices such as proverbs and parallelism? In learning this methodology, can the minister become familiar enough with the literary devices Jesus favored in order to use them? Is there an exegetical benefit to recognizing the form as well as the content?<br/><br/>To accomplish this, chapter one offers a summary of scholarly research dealing of the origin and use of proverbs in Ancient Israel, and chapter two defines and explains the many facets of proverbs and the poetic parallelism that sets it apart in scripture.<br/><br/>Chapter three provides step-by-step instructions for discovering parallelism in the Bible.

The use of parallelism in Biblical prose is not addressed.<br/><br/>It is hoped that a greater awareness and understanding of the literary devices Jesus used will inspire a deeper appreciation for them, as well as a desire to use them. |
