What is paratext? According to Gregory Goswell (2023), "Paratext may be defined as everything in a text other than the words, that is to say, those elements that are adjoined to the text but are not part of the text itself." [Gregory Goswell, Text and Paratext: Book Order, Title, and Division as Keys to Biblical Interpretation (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Academic, 2023), 1.]
This video discusses the importance of canonical placement, book sequence, sense divisions (via spacing conventions), and reading cycles (sedarim and lectionaries) as potential clues for biblical language study and interpretation.
