Bible Note: 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 |
