Knowable Word: Knowable Word: Helping Ordinary People Learn to Study the Bible - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Learn the basics of inductive Bible study in a few minutes, gain valuable skills for a lifetime.

Knowable Word offers a foundation on why and how to study the Bible. Using a running study of the first chapter of Genesis, this Revised and Expanded second edition illustrates how to Observe, Interpret, and Apply the Scripture—and gives the vision behind each step. It also shows how to read each Bible passage in light of salvation history. But besides being just a how-to on Bible study, it fuels the desire to learn and grow through studying the Scriptures.

Building on the foundation of the first edition of Knowable Word, released in 2014, this new edition offers further help on following an author’s argument, identifying the weightiest segment of a passage, and thereby discovering the main points more clearly. In addition, new material has been added on the topics of literary form, structure, and context.

This book will appeal to beginners, mature Christians who want to improve their Bible study skills, and leaders who long not only to teach but to equip.

"Why wasn't this book around when I was 20? I am a student of scripture, and have read several books about how to study Scripture. They were all okay, but lacking.

"This book is simple, clear, and very helpful. You can download study sheets from their website to help you as you study the Bible. Obviously you will use sheets less as you understand how to study better, which is the point.

I cannot say enough good things about the riches to be found here. Do by all means obtain this book and mine it's wealth for a you are worth. The effort will reward you."

***

"So helpful in understanding better how to observe, interpret, and apply the truths of the Bible. I led a book study of this book and lifelong Christians were amazed at how they were incorrect in interpreting scripture."

***

"I can definitely relate to the author in this book. He has simply put his directions, suggestions, and advice in a way that novices of scripture can understand. Definitely recommend as a good read for pastors amd teachers."

***

"This book is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to improve their study of the Bible. Knowable Word contains a treasure of easy tips and tools to help expand anyone's understanding of God's Word. This book is helpful to both the Bible scholar and someone who has never studied the Bible before. People who have been studying the Bible for decades have improved their study by using these techniques, and at the same time, my grade school children have been learning and can comprehend how to use these very same Bible study techniques."
