Pattern Analysis is an innovative approach to literary structures as found in pericopes from Genesis to Revelation. It presents a consistent method to discern the organizational and rhetorical emphasis. Version 1.65 of the manuscript Pattern Analysis Methodology is available for downloading, updated 5/16/2024.
Below are the Pattern Analysis files (PAF) that represent the different aspects of that manuscript. All files are presented for academic review.
Frequency Analyses:
Analyses of the nine major genre show surprisingly good coherence to the mean.

In the seventh year of pattern analysis development, some frequency analyses were prepared to see if these features were consistent. The first analysis was a look at the structural lettered devices across all genres. When viewing the following charts, compare each of the nine genre with the MEAN: ALL GENRES.

Pattern analysis is the study of literary units, otherwise known as pericopes, that normally appear as a paragraph or so in most modern Bibles. An analytical methodology is used with three models: a demarcation model that identifies where a literary unit starts and certain prominent locations within the literary unit, a structural model that identifies the organization of the literary unit, and a rhetorical model where the student documents how the literary unit adds persuasion and emphasis.
