Bible Question: What is inductive Bible study ? I am REALLY confused now on how to study the Bible. Thank you for helping me go forward. Mother |
Bible Answer: Mother There is an excellent book titled "How To Study Your Bible" by Kay Arthur published by Harvest Publishing ISBN 1-56507-173-5 that details out the an inductive study procedure. Basically using laws of grammar and context you allow the Bible to explain itself. You become focused on what the passage is saying, key word, key point rather than taking a piece here and piece there. Many passages of the Bible are taken out of context and mean almost the exact opposite of how they are used by many today. With an inductive Bible study everything is looked at within context and allowing context to reveal the exactly what the writer was saying. I dare say many if not most fail to do this today and that is one of the reasons we have so many different beliefs within the church. EdB |
