Dating Scripture Events: A Trilogy of Articles from BYU Studies Quarterly

Innovative and significant, these studies provide a timely and essential sequel to the widely cited reference work "Chiasmus in Antiquity" (1981) "Chiasmus: The State of the Art" now productively analyzes a similar variety of chiastic structural features in such texts as the flood narratives in Genesis and in the Epic of Gilgamesh; legal texts in Leviticus and Deuteronomy; homicide narratives in scripture and apocrypha; prophetic passages in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Nephi; pedagogical and rhetorical features of New Testament works of Matthew, Luke, John, and Hebrews; as well as impressive structures in the Book of Mormon and Mesoamerican texts. Also included are very useful discussions of methodological criteria, statistical probabilities, and the latest bibliographic resources. Ships from Utah.
