ABSTRACT

This chapter systematizes, categorizes, synthesizes, and compares the generated data across three interconnected analytical stages. The first stage involved an in-depth examination of the data, which enabled the construction of a “profile” for each exchange and their subsequent classification according to the success achieved. The second stage of the analysis entailed the construction of highly condensed summaries or “portraits” for each exchange, aimed at deepening the understanding of how particular outcomes correlate with specific dynamics of intercultural Bible discussions among the participating SCMs. The third and final stage of the analysis consists of a horizontal comparative examination of the outcomes of the exchanges (represented through the previously constructed profiles) against a selected set of analytical categories. This stage aims to identify recurring patterns or meaningful correlations among the exchanges, with the ultimate goal of drawing broader insights about the dynamics and results of intercultural Bible reading.
