Popis: This article, a rejoinder to a recent article in this journal by A. B. Luter and M. Lee, responds to their presentation of a macro-chiastic analysis of Philippians by examining two issues. The first is the use of chiasm in recent New Testament study, where it is shown that there is a lack of methodological rigour in explication of the concept. The second scrutinizes analyses of Philippians using chiasm with regard to three areas: macro-chiasm as a method, the nature and quality of macro-chiastic claims regarding the structure of Philippians, and its possible use in determining the literary integrity of Philippians.
