About this ebook
The Bible is an incredible book. Not only is the Bible the written Word of God, but also its depth of meaning and beauty were masterfully supervised by the hand of God. There is a Hebrew poetry form called a chiasmus, which is beautifully balanced, where the first and last verse match in subject, working their way inward to the central and most important point. The New Testament has this balanced approach to its structure. Dr. Greene examines the purpose of their arrangement and their relationship to each other using the chiasmus as a tool. The results are amazing. This approach honors Scripture by allowing it to speak to those to whom it was written. The goal of this book is to present an alternative method of examining the Bible, understanding that all the Bible has been written for you, but only a part of the Bible was written to you.
