Have you ever read a passage of Scripture—again and again—and still felt like you were missing something?

You’re not alone.
Too often, we rush past the structure of the text and focus only on the individual ideas. But what if the clarity you’re longing for is hidden in the details and connections? What if slowing down and visually organizing the text could unlock a deeper understanding—and lead you into heartfelt worship?
That’s where Block Diagramming comes in.
What Is Block Diagramming?
Biblearc’s FREE Block Diagramming mini-course teaches you the first three of the more extensive Phrasing path course. “Phrasing” is a method of visually organizing Scripture—breaking a passage into phrases, showing relationships with indentation, and clarifying connections with arrows. It’s one of the most practical ways to understand what the biblical author is saying and how he’s saying it.
Through this method, you’ll learn to:
  • Divide a passage into natural thought units
  • Indent to reveal which ideas support others
  • Draw arrows to show how concepts relate
The result? A clearer grasp of meaning, greater confidence in interpretation, and—by God’s grace—a deeper treasuring of Jesus.
Clarity begins with structure.

What one pastor had to say about “Phrasing”...
The Phrasing class has fine-tuned my weekly sermon preparation and my own personal devotion in God's precious Word. It has helped me see new and deeper insights into His Word and I would encourage anyone who wants to have a deeper and clearer understanding of God's Word to take any of the classes that are offered. Great work for our Savior! Thank you.
Rev. Robert A. Lotzer Covenant Presbyterian Church, OPC Abilene, Texas
