1 | More quotable paragraph breaks for NASB? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 131281 | ||
Hello Reighnskye; Years ago I was involve in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship at the college I attended. While there I went to a week long retreat to Catelina Island off the coast of california with them. There the particular program I was involved in was a study of the first half of the book of Mark. We spent about 5 days for 6-7 hour per day doing nothing but studying those first eight chapters. What you might be interested in was the method we used to do the study. They call it a Manuscript study. They used the NIV though but it will work with any version. They took the first eight chapters and took all the chapter breaks and verse divsion out and ran all the sentances together separated only by the punctuation which they left in. Then during the study we as a classs after reading the manuscript decided where to put paragraph breaks. We then would go through highlighting and circling repeated words or phrases then connecting the repeated words together to see how the sections of manuscript were connected. By locating repeated words we began to see what was important to the writer. It helped to discover context and the ideas the writeer wanted to get across. There were other thing we looked for as well but needless to say I was so impressed by what we discovered in the scripture that this became my primary way of studying ever since. Realise though that even using this method some paragraghs will be more than 4 verses. If you want more information you can probably contact Intervarsity Christain Fellowship and ask them about it. If you want to contact me personally about it my e-mail address is; aerberich@ev1.net Blessing to you Aaron |

Aaron, I've loved just taking hours at a time and doing bible study. Such endeavors just get me immersed in the scriptures. In my most recent bible study attempts, I'm taking the smaller books and working on those first to polish my study skills. Then when I'm readier, I'd like to charge full force into the larger books, leaving no stone unturned. The Manuscript study method sounds quite interesting. Where in the world would you get a bible text without chapter and verse divisions though? I'd have to do it on my computer or something, I guess. ---- Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15 NAS95) - Reighnskye |

You might be interested in the Theological Markup Language that the Christian Classic Ethereal Library is using. http://www.ccel.org/ThML/ They also have some stuff looking at different versification schemes. Looks like stuff right up your alley. You might also look into XSEM. |

Doc, The link to Theological Markup Language looks interesting, but I honestly can't decipher what exactly it is that they do there. My computer savvy is moreso lacking in this regard. Sorry. - Reighnskye |
