It think you did a great job in analyzing those verses from 2 Cor 12:1-5. I have not found a lot of chiasms in Paul's writings, and where they seem to exist, they are rather simplistic such as A-B-A. <br /><br />The question that I try to make in my article is, "Why is it there?" To me, the reader's response to the text is the most important part of the Scripture. After all, it is God's Word that is personally speaking to us. <br /><br />Regarding your analysis of John 9, this has been inspected by many people for its chiastic structure, so it is not surprising that you found it as well. I like how Peter Leithart analyzed it in "A House for My Name" which to me is an excellent manuscript. Leithart presents several different interpretations of John 9 which are all possible ways to see that text.<br /><br />In my book, "Joshua's Spiritual Warfare: Understanding the Chiasms of Joshua", I take the reader through my process of resolving the question, "Why is it there?" My response may not be yours, but I find it intriguing to see it from another person's perspective.Thomas B Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658187104237766437noreply@blogger.com
