How to study the Bible
Anyone has the ability to study the Bible, either independently or in a group. Here’s a guide.
- Start with a verse
Read it several times through, ideally in more than one translation. Bible websites are a great resource for this. - What is the intended audience?
Who was the verse originally written for, or to? If you’re not sure, Wikipedia does a great job of explaining that. - What is the message and context?
What is the verse saying to its intended audience, and what was likely going on in their lives at the time? - How does it help understand God better?
What aspect of God’s nature or relationship to us is the author trying to convey to the intended audience? - How does it inform my relationship to God?
Based on everything above, what is the verse revealing to you personally about God?
