Excerpt from The Symmetrical Structure of Scripture: Or, the Principles of Scripture Parallelism, Exemplified in an Analysis of the Decalogue, the Sermon on the Mount, and Other Passages of the Sacred Writings The views advanced in the Work now submitted to the Public, and the rules of Scriptural arrangement proposed, have not been hastily adopted, but are the result of long sustained investigation of a much more extensive range of passages than the examples selected for the present publication. The more the Author examines the subject, the more deeply is he convinced of the great importance of Bishop Lowth's discovery of the Parallelism of Scripture, as furnishing one of the most valuable aids ever presented to the interpreter, and calculated, when its principles have been more fully developed, to throw a new and clearer light on a great part of the Sacred Volume. Under the powers of this new instrument of investigation, the Sermon on the Mount is shewn to be one of the most perfect compositions that can be conceived, not only from the depth of wisdom which it displays, but for the exquisite arrangement of all its parts, which constitute one grand symmetrical whole, while yet each smaller portion is finished with the most consummate skill and minuteness of detail. The Seven Beatitudes, in particular, with which the Lord opens this discourse, exhibit a combination of the most surprisingly beautiful arrangements and connexions, disclosing a fulness and comprehensiveness of meaning, even beyond what these Divine utterances were already known to contain.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
