| Arcing Chart (click to download) |
Arcing is a wonderful tool for pulling the meat out of a text of scripture. By arcing you can follow the flow of the passage by examining the structure of it's propositions. The folks at biblearc.com have graciously provided an online video tutorial to help anyone learn how to make use of this helpful resource.
Arcing can be done on paper by writing the text out in columns of single line propositions, and 'arcing' their relationships, marking them with predefined symbols, or by using their helpful online tool.
In their own words,
"Arcing is a graphical tool used to determine, document,and discuss the flow of thought in the Biblical text.
The point... to rightly handle the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)"
That pretty much sums it up. I have found it one of the best tools yet for mining the intended meaning from the text.
From here you can, download the arcing chart, watch their online tutorial videos, Arc.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this reminder - I've invested some time in this but not near enough to put it into practice. Seems there is also a free online book available on Greek Exegesis by John Piper probabably at desiringgod.org - I think it also describes arcing if I remember correctly. There might be a link to it at the biblearc.com website.
Glad your up and arcing! Thanks for this, may try it if I can find some moments where my brain is functioning well enough! (:)
