How To Study The Bible (Value Books)

Not for people looking for a way to study the bible. What I mean by that is it basically explains why and gives you a basic understanding why you show study the bible. Good to hand someone new to the faith but not for someone that's been in the faith but new to studying on there own or looking to improve there study sessions. I wasn't a great student in school so don't really no how to study a topic and what to do or look for or even how to break things down. Highlighting I look at the words and like do i highlight the whole paragraph. So yeah looking for some help and this wasn't it. Like I said nice little book to hand a newcomer to the faith.

I found HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE after reading two excellent study guides while looking for a book my church might use. They were THE NAVIGATOR BIBLE STUDIES HANDBOOK The Navigator Bible Studies Handbook...

This is a great overview for a beginner, or anyone wanting to learn the foundations of Bible study. I was overwhelmed by the wealth of info available on this and related subjects, so for me it was a welcome relief. I found it to be the best beginner "directory." I'm putting together my own study notes, and "how to", and have started with the principles of this book, which discussed the Inductive Study method, as well as other approaches to use at a later stage, to balance one's knowledge and approach. A broad outline of this book: . The Inductive Study Method (summary of strategies for each of the three stages - enough to start you off) . Once you've completed that, move onto other methods of study (which also has suggestions for study books) . Great resources to aide your study (a lot of them free, and others are highly recommended by many, and will in the end save you spending money on less worthwhile resources . Getting organised (if, like me, you're completely overwhelmed, the more basic the advice (of course it has to be adept too), the better! Wonderful start to what I'm hoping will be a continuous journey, with the right resources...

Learning the Bible and drawing closer with the Lord and His word, is simple to do, Now to use this new knowledge to set a baseline

Excellent book to learn the basics of bible study

Wow there is so much information in this little book. I went through and highlighted all the main points so it will be easier when I reference back.

This is not only a good primer for new Christians, it's a good reminder to study and grow no matter where we are on our journey. Will be using it in a small group setting. Great resource.

While I didn't get anything new from this book, it could be a good starting place for someone who has done little Bible study. West covers the reasons why one should study the Bible. I like his Top 10 Reasons to Study the Bible. He also included six principles of interpretation and six Bible study methods. The plus of the book is the number of Bible references he uses to support his points. The negative is there is just not enough detail to help one use these different methods. For myself, I would give it one star, but, acknowledging that it could be a good starting point for others, I gave it 3 stars. Just know that after this, you will need some other, more detailed books to help you apply his ideas.
