The Fourth Horizon

My scaffolding for a chapter on Ecclesiastes is complete, and I am satisfied with the results. I can flesh out incisive points with evidence. The title is "Hevel and the Cognitive Dissonance of a Fleeting World." This work is part of my book project, The Fourth Horizon: The Mental World as a Critical Lens for Hermeneutics and Homiletics. At this stage, I have completed three chapters—one about Lot (Gen 19), another about Ruth, and the one about Ecclesiastes—all with strong, promising scaffolding. For me, scaffolding represents nearly 80% completion; the remaining work is providing evidence and documentation. Now, I am moving on to scaffold another chapter regarding the Canaanite woman’s encounter with Jesus. I have read this story hundreds of times, but this time I am reintegrating various points with the "fourth horizon." After that, I will move to John 14 and Romans 3. Progress is steady; it is simply a matter of time.
