J.P. Heil proposes that the letter to the Hebrews was heard by its audience as a cohesive series of 33 microchiastic units coherently arranges in three macrochiastic levels of 11 units each.
This is a helpful narrative-critical study of the Johannine passion and resurrection account. After a brief introduction, Heil shows how scenes in the narrative are arranged in sets, with each scene providing a contrast to the scenes that surround it. These alternating scenes involve the implied reader in an interplay of competing or complementary narrative themes.
