Bible Study Methods
Grace Institute for Biblical Leadership
Winter 2009 |
According to 2 Timothy 3:16, the Scriptures are the primary means by which a Christian is to hear and understand God's will and serves as the primary authority in the life of a Christian. Therefore, if we do not study the bible, we will be ignorant of God's will and therefore we are rejecting the authority of God over our life.
However, God chose to reveal the scriptures through human authors who wrote to specific audiences in a specific times and places. The Scriptures are not written as a series of timeless principles and commandments that can be read and understood simply. Instead, God entered into human history and revealed himself as a story. Bible study, therefore, is the process of understanding the biblical story.
Course Description
This ten-week class will not just reiterate the importance of studying the bible, but will show a specific process for understanding the biblical story and how we are part of this ongoing story of God's interaction with humanity. Students will be expected to not only attending the lectures but put the lessons into practice through homework which will guide each student through the Bible Study method.
