Abstract

Stephen Kent Ehat, “The Roles of Words, Phrases, and Ideas in Macro- Chiasms,” examines the capacity and function of words and ideas in scriptural chiastic structures. As test cases, he examines several large chiasms—in Psalm 23; the entire book of Genesis; Leviticus 24:13–23; Ezekiel 20:3–31; Luke’s Travel Narrative (Luke 9:51–19:27) in the New Testament; and Alma 36 in the Book of Mormon. His objective is to shed “light on the interrelated roles that words, phrases, and ideas play in chiastic analysis.”
