In lieu of our Sunday School Lesson today I am going to study Alma 36. I knew of chiasmus but didn't realize that Alma 36 was the granddaddy of them all. Thanks again for your work.bunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091655088509351675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-39625121034840351392007-06-17T11:12:00.000-05:002007-06-17T11:12:00.000-05:00Great post--great concept--profound.
