Chiasm appears to be a rhetorical device which is alien to our modern
rhetoric. As an attorney, i.e. a professional rhetorician and sophist, the
most basic rules of imparting information to be remembered by hearers are the
rule of primacy and the rule of recency. A modern speaker would probably not
be able to rely on chiasmic structure to effectively influence an audience. I
would be interested to find if any religious practitioners use chiasm in their
sermons.
