A step-by-step guide to studying the word of God so that the work of God happens in and through his people."In this book we'll be learning a process for exegesis that helps us consider what the Bible says, what it meant for the original readers, and how we are to live in light of it now. We'll break down that complexity into a 12-step process simple enough to be doable. There'll be enough steps in the process to see what's happening, and at each step we'll have plenty of examples. We'll also sketch out, step by step, the exegesis of a specific passage together—Mark 5:1–20—so you can watch and see what it looks like."
