Top Highlights

“Rather, the primary goal is to discover the intended flow of thought or argument of the writer of Scripture.” (Page 85)

“The goal of any kind of diagramming is always the same: to better grasp the author’s flow of thought.” (Page 83)

“But phrase diagramming is much easier than technical grammatical diagramming and much clearer in its structure and end product because the words that function most closely together are left together on one line. Consequently phrase diagramming is much quicker than technical diagramming and more directly related to creating a useful lesson/sermon outline. An hour (or less) of diagramming, will produce an outline by which to preach/teach a particular passage of Scripture.” (Page 85)

“Don’t be fooled by the placement of chapter, verse, and paragraph breaks in the English translation. Watch for the author’s flow of thought.” (Page 87)

“AAA Rule = Adjective preceded by an Article is Attributive.” (Page 15)
