Discovering the argument

hermeneutics, bible study No Comments »

One of the most difficult, yet important aspects of Bible study is the ability to trace the authors argument and discover the main ideas.  In his book “Greek for the rest of us”, Bill Mounce discusses an approach called “Phrasing” which has been a wonderful tool in my study.  Along the same lines is a technique used by John Piper called “Arcing”. The idea is to visually link propositions together with their relationship, being a visual learner this makes a ton of sense to me.

Checek out the free booklet from desiringgod.com for more information and let me know what you think.  I’ll try to post some examples of both Phrasing and Arcing in future posts.
