Linguistics and The University of Texas at Arlington.
 
Terry utilizes principles of discourse analysis, cultural
anthropology, and biblical studies to analyze this New Testament
text. For his analysis, he draws on concepts of text organization from
the work of Robert E. Longacre and Kenneth L. Pike. This study
demonstrates that discourse analysis is and important tool for the
study of texts, even ancient ones. Dr. Terry has formal training in
both biblical studies and discourse analysis and has had field
experience among the Navajos.
