How to Study the Bible: Observations

August 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Warning: Please remember that there are people who receive doctorates in Biblical Studies.  This means that they dedicate their entire lives to studying and understanding the Bible—and by the way not all of them are Christians.  It would be foolish for me to tell you that through studying the Bible you will understand everything perfectly.  Even those who receive Ph.D’s in this field do not always agree on everything.

Observations is the first step in the method of Bible Study I hope to familiarize you with.  The following video contains an extremely quick overview of the process.  Green annotations signal information you should familiarize yourself with and blue annotations signal exercises you can perform in order to practice and improve your observational abilities.  Hope this helps you in at least some minimal way.

All information in the video has been adapted from the following book:
