anacoluthon occurs in Ephesians

Christian Alexander

How can I use Logos to determine when an anacoluthon occurs in the text? My definition of the term comes from Merriam Webster Dictionary. I used a books search for "anacoluthon NEAR Ephesians" and "anacoluthon NEAR "New Testament" I did not find much in these only 3 hits for first search and 7 for second search.

I would suggest using Silva Rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric (byu.edu) for all traditional figures of speech definition. This is a site that is very useful for which you can thank LDS. Page  720 of Bullinger, Ethelbert William. Figures of Speech Used in the Bible. London; New York: Eyre & Spottiswoode; E. & J. B. Young & Co., 1898. will match what a search for the figure will provide. 

Help function gives the search format:

Bullinger’s Figures of Speech

This dataset ships a bundle of Figure of Speech labels that mirror information found in Figures of Speech Used in the Bible by E. W. Bullinger. If (and only if) a verse is mentioned in Bullinger’s discussion of a figure of speech, that verse is labeled with that figure of speech. Each label supports:

• name:... — Where the title name of the figure appears (e.g., “Zeugma” or “Aposiopesis”).
• description:... — Is the short gloss for the figure (e.g., “Unequal Yoke” or “Sudden-Silence”).

For example:

• figureofSpeech:name:Ellipsis

Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2023).

For mentions within commentaries etc. I would try something like anacoluthon IN milestone:bible:Ephesians which looks at text within the milestone rather than looking for two words in the same article).

Is there a commentary that favors this kind of analysis over all other exegetical commentaries?

Rhetorical analysis is stand-alone in journal articles but rarely in commentaries. Literary commentaries and the Socio-Rhetorical Commentary series both make heavy use of rhetorical analysis.
