How to Study the Bible discusses the necessity of motivation and proper
attitude as prerequisites for the discovery of divine truth. Then it
delves into a discussion of the nature of biblical authority, using
Jesus himself as the model, also looking at the role of biblical silence
and expediency. It includes a chapter regarding logic and its role in
Bible study, as well as a chapter introducing various tools that are
helpful for Bible students. In addition, sections on context and
language studies show individual students how to correctly understand
the Bible. Rather than only providing theory, How to Study the Bible
also walks the student through sample studies, highlighting the
practical applications of the theory. Its style is directed toward the
average Christian but retains challenges for the advanced student and
minister as well. This work is not only about the Bible; it is
thoroughly biblical, demonstrating how proper Bible study sometimes
makes it necessary for us to abandon previously held convictions as we
learn more about God’s truth.
