Scott ~ I’ve enjoyed your site, especially your tribute to Jared. I was first introduced to the concept of chiasmus while in seminary. In recent years I’ve also become acquainted with the other forms of parallelism and Hebraic poetry out of the necessity of trying to understand Isaiah. I think that I may have possibly “found” a fairly large series of chiastic writing in the Book of Mormon that I cannot find published anywhere online. I am NOT an well-versed in scholarly scripture study and am a bit unsure in how to proceed. I’d welcome your input and direction. Thank you. Kindest Regards ~ Brent N.
Thanks for your comments. I was fortunate to know Jared. I am sorry to be so late in responding. We had a wedding and a mission reunion I hosted. I’ll be in touch soon.
