Sentence diagramming and discourse analysis accurately traces an author's thoughts. The process begins with the main subject and verb of the sentence, with the various dependent clauses and modifiers attached in an orderly manner, visually depicting artfully how every word correspondingly functions together in the overall picture. Diagramming an entire chapter truly furnishes the "big picture" by revealing the author's inherent structural hierarchy.

To facilitate the "big picture," every diagram set includes chapter diagram overviews. The overviews are demonstratively unique in the field of diagramming and exclusively available at NTGreek In Diagram.

So, what is an overview? It is a single-page, comprehensive chapter diagram without any spatial barriers, combining all the chapter's multiple pages into one page. They visually represent the author's structural continuity without the annoyance of physical page breaks and innovatively present the "big picture."

Those who teach the Scriptures from the Greek text favor these comprehensive chapter overviews because of the navigational ease between chapters. But more importantly, at the same time syntax and structure are explained by an instructor in conjunction with a LCD projector, students' understanding exponentially increase between the relationships of grammar, syntax, and discourse analysis. Greek diagrams from other sources are presented as fragmentary units, separated from their larger overall structure of the passage--until now!
