REVIEW (page 100)
The Poetical Books fall into three major types of poetry within which the poets used a number of different literary techniques to communicate God’s message.
REVIEW (page 101)
Rather than matching sounds, a Hebrew poet was more concerned with
matching ideas, a technique called “parallelism”
Parallelism
REVIEW (page 102)
1. In synonymous parallelism, the ideas are similar. (b)
2. In synthetic parallelism, the second thought completes the first. (b)
3. In antithetic parallelism, the second thought contrasts the first. (b)
4. In emblematic parallelism, a figure of speech in the first line illustrates the idea in the second line. (b)
5. In climactic parallelism, the second line repeats the first with the exception of the last word or words. (b)
6. In formal parallelism, both lines of poetry must exist for a complete thought. (b)
Parallelism
REVIEW (page 103)
Since the Hebrew poets wanted mental pictures to pop into the reader’s mind, a prime consideration was creating visual images, which they accomplished with vivid “figures of speech.”

REVIEW (page 151)
The Epistles are letters to churches and to individuals to encourage them and instruct them in the Christian faith.
PAULINE EPISTLES TO CHURCHES (page 152)
Romans: heavily doctrinal, with the most complete doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in all the Bible.
1 and 2 Corinthians: heavily practical, dealing with a series of specific problems in the Corinthian church.
Galatians: written to some of Paul’s first converts, refuting legalism.
Ephesians: deals with the believer’s position in Christ and its practical implications.
Philippians: a warm letter of joy despite trials.
Colossians: the preeminence of Christ is its major theme.
1 and 2 Thessalonians: very personal letters dealing with specific issues in the Thessalonian church, including prophecy and practical living.
PAULINE EPISTLES TO INDIVIDUALS(page 153)
1 and 2 Timothy: two letters to a young pastor in Ephesus. The first letter counsels him on local church issues, and the second encourages him to remain strong in the faith in the midst of trials.
Titus: written to the pastor of the church on the island of Crete, it deals largely with local church issues, including the qualifications for church leaders.
Philemon: written to a slave owner, it urges lenient treatment of a runaway slave who has become a Christian and is returning to his Christian master.
GENERAL EPISTLES(page 153)
Hebrews: heavily doctrinal, this book draws largely on Old Testament truth in teaching New Testament truth to a Jewish audience.
James: an incisive and practical treatment of the proper outworking of Christian faith in everyday life.
1 and 2 Peter: written to believers scattered throughout Asia and Galatia, it deals with the proper response to suffering and opposition.
1, 2, and 3 John: letters from the apostle John dealing with the love of God and its outworking in Christians’ lives.
Jude: a brief but powerful book warning against ungodly living.
Revelation: a giant of a book, heavily prophetical, dealing with the nature and chronology of the end times.

Lewis’s Trilemma(pg 187)
"That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would
either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this
man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you
can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left
that open to us. He did not intend to.“--C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
