On Jimmy Akin’s website, in the article “The Key To Understanding Mary”. cin.org/users/james/files/key2mary.htm he makes the following statement under the subheading “Our Mother”;
“Bible scholars point out that John’s account of the passion and death of Christ has a very unusual seven-fold structure. Right at the center of this seven-fold structure is the story of Christ telling John to regard Mary as his mother. As a result, something very special and very symbolic is going on here.”
Is anybody here familiar with what the “seven-fold” structure that Mr. Akin refers to is? Can you provide a link to an article on it, or recommend a book? Thank you.
