a) Chiasm: Greek word for letter 'X.' A literary device that follows an 'X' or ABBA pattern or reversal; mirror image. Example: "the first shall be last, the last shall be first"
b). Subversion of Empire: The story of Jesus offers a counter-story to the dominant story/worldview of his day
c)The Three Worlds: Literary (created by the text), Historical (behind the text). Contemporary (in front of the text)
d).Intercalation (Sandwiching); a literary technique in which one story/narrative is inserted into the middle of another story/narrative. Example. The temple tantrum is inserted in the middle of the fig tree episode in Mark 11.

a) Prophecy: foretelling or forthtelling;
often having multiple applications and fulfillments, to different "contemporary worlds"
and
across time.
b) hemistiche/ellipsis: when the last section of a well-known phrase is omitted foremphasis: Matthew says "My house shall be a house of prayer......," intentionally
leaving out
the "...for all nations" clause.
c)Fuzzy set: a set where the boundaries are fuzzy: “when does a hill become a
mountain?”
or “when did Peter become a disciple?”
d) double paste: Often, two Scriptures/texts are combined into a new one. Ex. : Jesus says “My house shall be a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves.” The first clause (before the comma) is from Isaiah 56:6-8, and the second is from Jeremiah 7:11
e) Kingdom: in Jesus, in large part, the “age to come” has come. The Future has visited the present.
f)Social networking/6 degrees of separation: people/themes are more related/
interconnected than it would seem
