Bible Study Basics

By brian

I will be teaching a class on How to Study the Bible in a few weeks.  In preparation, I have been reading lots of books, papers, and articles on the subject.

I give kudos to Clint Archer who wrote this really simple approach to Bible study and interpretation.

I’m reminded of the most basic principle of Bible study that rings in my ears from a seminary professor, “We are reading someone else’s mail!”  We always have to back up and ask who were the original hearers and why this writing was important to them!
