The reversal structure of the Epistle to Galatians in the New Testament

―Based on Bligh's chiastic structure―

Abstract

　In this paper, it was examined whether the Epistle to the Galatians, which is a book contained in the New Testament, has a reversal structure or not. Assuming the well-known structural chiasmus in this text, the Bligh diagram, we determined whether the pairs of elements that make up this diagram are in contrasting relationships. As a result of our analysis, it became clear that all pairs of elements that make up this diagram are in contrasting relationships, so it was concluded that the text has a reversal structure.
