1 | Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? | Matt 12:33 | tumbleweed | 207378 | ||
bowler I have checked back on this post once in a while to see if anything more got said about different styles of Bible Study. I find this whole issue of how to study the Bible very interesting, and have been liking your posts, but especially this one. I would be very interested in some more about the expository style of Bible Study, if you could explain more that would be great. Also if you could explain some about exegesis that would be great too, although I think I know what that is. Ephesians 4:10 Trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. tumbleweed, God's Own |

Continued Expository Bible Study Example Questions – a series of questions asked of the passage to determine the content of the passage; Content – the information that determines what the passage is about. Who is in the passage? – Jesus, the Samaritan woman, and the Samaritans. What is the passage about? – Jesus is ordained by God to go Samaria to meet the woman in order to offer salvation to the Samaritans. Where does the passage take place? – In Samaria, a country hostile to the Jews. When does the passage take place? – Somewhat near the beginning of Jesus ministry in the first century. Why does this passage appear in the book it is in? – To demonstrate that Jesus offers salvation to everyone and not just to the Jews, to fulfill the OT Scriptures that the Messiah would come, and to show that Jesus is the Messiah. Questions – a series of questions asked of the passage to determine the context of the passage; Context – the information that determines how a passage should be interpreted. What is the theme of the book the passage falls under? – The larger theme of John is Jesus is the Messiah as the Son of God, there are three sub- themes – Jesus is God in John 1:1-5 – John 1:1-4:54, Pivotal chapter 5 segues into Jesus is Rejected in John 1:5, 11 – John 5:1-9:41, Jesus Gives Life To All Who Accept Him in John 1:12, 13 – John 10:1-21:25. What is the theme of the passage itself as a segment within the book? – The theme is the first sub-theme that Jesus is God, and that Jesus saves all people and not just the Jews. What is the author’s intent in writing to his recipients, what is his objective, what does he want them to understand? – To tell the story of a sinful woman who worshipped the right God the wrong way, how she came to know that Jesus is God, and that the salvation of non Jews by Jesus is ordained by God. What is the author’s intention for his recipients, what does he want them to do, what is his application for them? – To understand that the love of God towards those who sin is not bound by culture and to be willing to offer salvation to non Jews, and that there is a right way to worship God. What, according to the first four questions of context, does the passage mean, what is it saying on its own, what is the literal interpretation? – Jesus is the Messiah as the Son of God, and He is ordained by God to offer salvation to everyone including non Jews. Questions – a set of questions asked to determine how to apply the passage; What does this passage mean based off a literal interpretation of what the passage is about? – It means that God in His love for us has ordained Jesus to offer salvation to everyone regardless of where they come from and that we should be willing to offer salvation to everyone. Why and how is this passage important to us now in this century? – God is to be worshiped the right way, everyone is a sinner no matter where they are from, the passage is important now because everyone still needs the salvation of Jesus Christ in this century. How should this passage be applied using a literal interpretation? – The right way to worship God is to get saved by Jesus Christ, we are to go out to everyone and offer them the salvation of Jesus Christ. This is an example of how to “pull the author’s intent” out of the passage. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved of God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. blessings abound, bowler |

Doctrinsograce I did not quote a "source", truthfully I did not. I crafted this definition "The Study of the Bible derived from a historical, grammatical, and literary study of a passage in its context, through answering a set, or series of questions asked of the passage, in order to arrive at a literal interpretation from which to form an application.", myself after carefully looking at what it means to do an expository Bible Study. The first elements from "history to literaly" I got from my notes and from looking these things up in the books to verify my notes - I did not quote anyone, including the pastors, I used my own words and thoughts. From questions of content through questions of context - this was largely what I have learned over the past 20 years in my church and was in bits and pieces in those myriad of note books, and I used the books to make sure I had it straight - I did not quote any books, I used my own words. Questions to determine an application came largely from what I have learned in church from the notebooks and only part of that is backed up in the books - I did not quote, I used my own words. For the example post - I sat down for two solid hours and used the entire first post about what an expository Bible Study is and did the work, step, by step, using the outline in that I submitted and came up with the answer on my own. The only part that I got from somewhere else is my current pastor took us through the Book of John and I learned about the usage of the word "Edei", and the three sub-themes of John - and I did not quote him, or my other pastors either, I used my own words to express what I have learned to do over the years. Ansewering tumbleweed's note made me sit down for the first time and actually hammer out what I know in bits and pieces about how to do exegesis. I think I said in another post that I was aware of several definitions of what exegesis is. That would be definitions I did not use in here from four books and in bits and pieces with different forumulas from 3 pastors in 25 note books. What I did was sat down and opened up four different books with the parts in them and looked at four links, as well as 20 years worth of notebooks with notes from going to my church where my pastors (three in 20 years) all practiced a strict adherence to expository preaching and teaching by the use of exegesis. I sat down for a lot of hours yesterday and today, and studied first and foremost my notes in the 25 note books of hand written notes to look for bits and pieces of this stuff. Then I looked through Biblical Preaching by Haddon W. Robbinson, Living by the Book by Howard G. Hendricks, Interpreting the New Testatment by H. Conzelmann and A. Lindemann, and How To Read The Bible For All Its Worth by Gordon D. Fee to make sure I had it right. Here are the links, but I did not quote them either, I studied them to make sure my notes in my note books were on target. http://www.discipleshipministry.com/book3.pdf http://www.triviumpursuit.com/articles/inductive_and_deductive_bible_studies.php http://www.intothyword.org/pages.asp?pageid equal sign 53490 http://www.chrisapp.org/partner/Article_Display_Page/0,,PTID34418 percent sign 7CCHID784254 percent sing 7CCIID2285958,00.html 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved of God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handing the word of truth. blessings abound, bowler |
