Genre Chart - Dr. Gary Manning

Because there are different types of Biblical literature, asking proper questions of the text is important to proper observation.

The "Genre" column tells us what type of literature there are, of the various books in the Bible.
The "Example" column gives an example of a story/text in that book of the Bible.
The Unit of thought" refers to a particular scene or paragraph (pericope) extracted from the text.
The "Characteristics" gives us an idea of what the genre of that book is about.
The "Interpretational Guidelines" offers questions we should ask of the text to properly observe and interpret the various Genres.

Let's study - to show ourselves approved, rightly interpreting the Word of Truth.

Thank you Dr. Manning!
