In a few months, I will be preaching from Obadiah to complement a pastor's expository preaching from Romans 9.
My approach to this is to:
- Start from the Hebrew interlinear and handwrite the text in a new choppy translation ignoring the "crimes" against English grammatical syntax but trying to read it as the author wrote it.
- Compare this new overly literal translation with NASB, NKJV and ESV
- Diagram the text by elementary school sentence diagramming technique
- Underline and circle links in the grammar and syntax
- Investigate and summarize historical and cultural background of the book and atlas.
- Investigate my commentaries: (currently I own or have access to Calvin, Henry and Trapp)
- Go through both Thompson chain references in my Thompson KJV and Thompson NASB and track categories and chains identified from Genesis to Revelation
- Verse-by-verse: identify the indicative intended by the author and imperative reasonably discerned from each verse (or small block of verses as the case may be)
Thank you in advance.
