In one of the journals (ATJ, vol. 34, pg. 10) I was reading in Logos this morning, I came across a quote from a book that looks interesting. the book is:
Mardy Grothe, Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You: Chiasmus and a World of Quotations that Say What They Mean and Mean What They Say (New York: Viking, 1999).
There are some literary devices like this that are helpful to varying degrees, but the use of humor to provoke thought in the hearer is something that has been utilized from ages past. There are many places where seeing chiasmus can help us to determine a central thought or idea in a given text. Most of you know these things. The point I am making is that with Logos, we can find these gems much easier. At present, there are assorted commentaries that bring out different structures of the Biblical texts. There are many helpful books we could suggest to Logos and there are probably ways at this stage of the game - with the benefit of computer tools - of being able to create a comprehensive database of all things chiasmus, so to speak
Logos has no specific titles right now that emerge in a "title:chiasmus" search on the web site. Perhaps, we could suggest some titles for development in the near future. My vote is in for this and I do have one book downstairs on this subject. (It may be "Chiasmus in the Gospels" or something like that, - I'll try to dig it out and give the reference if it seems worthwhile. )
