Analyzing a Pericope: Structure, Context, and Meaning

Deep Dive into New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors by Gordon D. Fee - The Analysis of a Pericope To properly exegete a Gospel pericope, researchers must utilize a Gospel synopsis to systematically compare parallel accounts across different texts. This analytical process requires locating the specific passage, isolating verbal correspondences and differences, and categorizing the type of literary tradition being examined. Scholars then analyze the unique sequence and arrangement chosen by the evangelist to understand the immediate literary context. Ultimately, evaluating authorial adaptations allows interpreters to discern the theological intent of the writer. Through these preparatory steps, students can comprehend the passage as part of the complete document rather than merely reading the Gospels side by side.

Deep Dive into New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors by Gordon D. Fee - The Analysis of a Pericope


To properly exegete a Gospel pericope, researchers must utilize a Gospel synopsis to systematically compare parallel accounts across different texts. This analytical process requires locating the specific passage, isolating verbal correspondences and differences, and categorizing the type of literary tradition being examined. Scholars then analyze the unique sequence and arrangement chosen by the evangelist to understand the immediate literary context. Ultimately, evaluating authorial adaptations allows interpreters to discern the theological intent of the writer. Through these preparatory steps, students can comprehend the passage as part of the complete document rather than merely reading the Gospels side by side.
