As we have discussed, the "topical" headings very often are the work of scholars that have done exactly as you say. Blocks of text ("pericopes") are what they look for when they put those headings up.

What you are trying to do is get inside the head of the writer. In the historical books (like the Gospels and Acts) usually have clear indicators of a change of time and place. In the letters and didactic (teachings, or homilies, like Hebrews and Revelation), the logic of the argument must be followed. That will be a bit harder.
