NTGreek In Diagram: The Epistle of James
William Ramey

The Epistle of James has been regarded by some as second-tier importance among the New Testament writings.  Perhaps Martin Luther's overrated disparaging remarks were the case of this, turning scholarship aside and directing it to the more famous sister-letters in the Pauline corpus.  Much has been made of "a right strawy epistle".  more

NTGreek In Structure: The Structure of Paul's Letters
Robert Bailey

Mr. Robert Bailey has recently updated The Structure of Paul's Letters.  In an era of no punctuation, not even spaces between words, sentences, and paragraphs, and when all letters were capital letters, Paul made careful use of internal structures of parallelism.  These structures are like Hebrew poetry, which is not based on meter or rhyme, but on parallelism of clauses, a symmetry of form and sense.  They emphasize, organize, and clarify his thoughts.  They can help a careful reader to see his outline and the units of thought that go together to make a whole structure of thought.  They also made it difficult for anyone to alter his letters without making that evident to a careful reader.  more

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians (2008 • Third Edition) is now available.  In some ways this epistle is the most Pauline of all of Paul's epistles.  This epistle has long been recognized as providing valuable motivation for the Christian in daily life and for the church in its service.  At the same time, its difficulty for scholars is well known.  This is also true for those who diagram it.  more

The First Epistle to the Corinthians (2008 • Third Edition) diagrams are now available.  Paul's epistles are much longer than those of his contemporaries.  First Corinthians is an excellent example of his full-orbed literary style due to its length.  Paul's deliberative rhetoric addresses the emotions, human desire, and the necessary steps to correct the problems the Corinthian Church was experiencing.  Paul communicates to the recipients of this epistle the transformative power of the proclamation of the cross and Jesus' resurrection.  more
