About this ebook

This study is devoted to the tracing of the Hebrew literary influence of the Greek text of the New Testament. It discusses specifically one form, the extensive use of the inverted order called chiasmus, a form that seems to be a part of Hebrew thought itself, whether in poetry or in prose. Originally published in 1942.

This is the seminal work by the father of modern chiastic study. While Lunds methodology has since been surpassed, he no less deserves credit as the trailblazer in the field. The book also provides the key insights which many later scholars have benefited from. This book is essential for scholars of this particular field.
