hi damon, i know you haven't participated in a while, hope everything's okay and you haven't completely disappeared from the board.
anyways, while we were discussing isaiah in another thread, regarding prophecy, i stumbled across this doctoral thesis. chapter 5 discusses the parallel (chiastic, if you like) structure within proto-isaiah.
i haven't had the opportunity to read that far into it, but i thought you might be interested.
