Introduction In the next few articles I want to begin a thematic study of the book of Hebrews. If you are familiar with the materials at Restoration of Torah Ministries, then you know that the main foundation of our teachings center around thematic analysis. Thematic analysis involves studying the Bible by looking for and connecting similar themes, words, phrases, topics, situations and circumstances. I have found that the two most practical ways to study thematically pertain to outlining and discovery of the thematic patterns in the text. Therefore, when I want to take a deep dive into a passage in Scripture, I start by creating a general outline. This outline is extremely valuable because it provides the basic understanding of how the passage flows thematically, i.e., how it flows from topic to topic. Once I have completed an outline of the passage, I typically move on to discovering its thematic pattern, which typically consists of various chiastic structures and parallelisms. Analysis of the chiasms and parallelisms then allows an even deeper understanding of the passage. However, this series of articles will be limited initially to outlining alone.
