One argument he often cites supporting the notion that a particular biblical book was written by a single author - an author religious people would like to believe was god - is the presence of something called chiastic, or "envelope," structure.— The Full Feed from HuffingtonPost.com
I tend to prefer more precise terms that limit themselves to a particular area such as structure - as in a "macro-structure" (which is what I would term my chiastic reading of the series as a whole, which, as I have said, might or might not be as tenable as a macro-structure one the corpus is complete), or to being specific about looking at a place where different such elements relate to, rub against (which can be a positive thing, in a lot of literay theory now tension between such elements can be itself a positive element in the meaning of texts … indeed that is pretty much very much at the heart, I think, of Derrida's differance and Roland Barthes 'post-structuralism) or compliment each other in different dimensions etc (such as, for you, John, the imagery and the structure are two different textual elements, but Christ symbolism and literary alchemy structure compliment each other).— HogwartsProfessor.com
In treating these relics (in the chiastic order of Nephite, Jaredite, Nephite again), there is a steady theme of gaining eternal life through revealed guidance and grace from the Lord.— Mormanity - A Mormon Blog (But Not Just for Mormons)
"Since these seminal studies the study of New Testament chiasm has blossomed, until today recognition of chiastic structure is common in full-scale commentaries and other scholarly works.— Conservapedia - Recent changes [en]
Early rationalist critics of the Bible, unaware of the literary methods of antiquity (and often unwilling to learn from ancient sources because doing so would threaten their presupposition-based theories), missed completely the chiastic structures that are used in the Scripture.— Conservapedia - Recent changes [en]
