Principles of Bible Study

Principles of Bible Study presents a practical approach to understanding the message of the Bible. Like a mentor, it explains the bigger picture and the reasons behind the principles before offering guidance about how to actually study and interpret.

We lay a foundation of how the Scriptures are fully worthy of our devotion, and then explore some of the common assumptions that prevent people from understanding their message.

In addition to explaining the top fifteen principles of interpretation, we also explore:

• Studying Prayerfully
• Applying the Scriptures
• How to Select a Bible
• Figures of Speech in the Bible
• Understanding Words in Their Original Language
• Context Concepts and Contextual Boundaries
• How to Weave a Passage Into Its Context
• Scriptural Meditation
• How to use Questioning to Refine your Understanding
• Articulating Your Understanding

Understanding the principles of Bible study will give you confidence as you study the Word of God. It is geared to adults who have not attended Bible college or seminary, although it offers special insights even to those who have.
