Greetings Jonathan! Thanks for this course! I agree, Matthew is highly structured. Any resource recommendations there? I spotted a 14 level chiastic structure in the center of Matthew that is bookended by two inclusio stories....making the chiasm all the more outstanding. I hate when people say they see a chiasm, that isn't very parallel or tight, but this has strong parallels in each of the 7 sides, and clear separation between First Side and Prime Side with topic/theological distinction... sure looks like authorial intent. Would love to dig further. Ideas for further study? Or maybe this is the fodder of a dissertation? JJ
