  • How Paratext Can Help in Studying the Biblical Languages

    What is paratext? According to Gregory Goswell (2023), "Paratext may be defined as everything in a text other than the words, that is to say, those elements that are adjoined to the text but are not part of the text itself." [Gregory Goswell, Text and Paratext: Book Order, Title, and Division as Keys to Biblical Interpretation (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Academic, 2023), 1.]

    This video discusses the importance of canonical placement, book sequence, sense divisions (via spacing conventions), and reading cycles (sedarim and lectionaries) as potential clues for biblical language study and interpretation. For further resources on the topic of paratext, see https://sites.google.com/view/studyingthebiblicallanguages/pedagogy-strategy/paratext

Recorded January 26, 2024.
