What's the Text? begins by simply reading the Scripture passage for what it says.  Then it invites deeper understanding by having us examine and ask questions about the text.

What's the Context? looks at both the literary issues and the cultural and social situation. The information in this section may address specific terms used in the passage, the character of the particular book of the Bible, what comes before the passage, what comes after it, and the events and cultural expectations of the times. Having this "story behind the story" provides important information for understanding the text and its meaning.

What's Next?, the third section, recognizes that studying the Bible is not focused on information, but on transformation. Here's where we intentionally focus on today by looking at different "Views" that relate to contemporary life.

One reason for doing Bible study this way is to learn how to study the Bible.  As your group works through text, context, and what's next, you will learning an important skill for a lifetime of encountering God's Word.
