Lesson 5 | Bracketing a Passage
Congratulations!
You’ve Come to the End of the Bible Logic Mini-Course.
In this course, you have gained the skill of determining the type of connection the exists between a pair of clauses. We have seen how such connections can be categorized as coordinate or subordinate, with support by restatement, support by distinct statement, and support by contrary statement serving as subordinate subcategories. You were also introduced to the Bracketing Bible study method and have been given a push out of the nest in your first attempt at using this method.
May your new understanding help you think rightly about the logic behind a Bible verse and serve your joy in Christ.
