For actual syntactical breakdown of the Bible, I agree. Biblical Scholars, and even competent pastors, can syntactically analyze the the Bible sufficiently well. I would think the technology could be helpful in a fairly narrow way: identifying syntactical constructions outside the bible to help explain ambiguous syntactical constructions within it (For example, Ugaritic texts, another ancient Semitic language similar to Hebrew, are often studied to aid in understanding portions of the Old Testament). Scholars have been doing this without computers for some time and have begun to do this type of analysis with software. I would imagine more sophisticated software would yield at least some new insights. |
