How would you describe the differences between the process of doing macro- and micro-observation?

[Austin]

Macro observation is looking at the book of the bible as a whole and getting a broad overview of where and when it takes place generally, who is mainly involved, etc. Micro observation looks at specific passages and takes a magnifying glass to the same questions we ask for the macro observation. Not only do we look at where the whole passage is happening, but where each chapter or verse is taking place for instance.

[Austin]

Macro-observation gives us the big picture, the major ideas and micro-observation goes deeper and looks at a specific passage and analyses the content. Macro is looking with your eye and micro with a microscope.

[Austin]

Macro gives a much more cultural interpretation of what we are reading while micro gives us a very personal interpretation.

[Austin]

Macro is broad, bigger picture ideas and macro is more detailed and specific.

[Austin]

Macro gives us broad details, Micro gives us specific details
