When you begin a project, it’s important to have the right tools for the job. Studying God’s Word is no different! When you apply the right method for studying the Bible, you’ll be a more proficient student.
Knowable Word: Helping Ordinary People Learn to Study the Bible is a brief, practical guidebook that teaches a time-tested method of study that has helped audiences of all ages understand what Scripture says, what it means, and how it can be applied to daily life.
The book lays out a specific, three-step approach for reading and understanding the biblical text. This approach makes it easy to learn on your own without relying on commentaries, sermon notes, or going to Google.
More specifically, you’ll learn how to identify the audience of the text, pinpoint the themes and structure of a passage, and correctly determine what the text is teaching. Knowable Word will help you avoid drawing conclusions prematurely so that you can accurately understand the author’s main point in a specific passage. You’ll also learn to better discern what context is and why it matters so you can more clearly see how the whole of Scripture reveals Jesus.
Illustrations using the opening chapters of Genesis are provided to show exactly how this three-step approach works. Other handy charts and worksheets are also included in each chapter so you can practice your skills on your own or with your Bible study group.
Whether you’re new to reading the Bible or you’re a seasoned student of studying Scripture, the three-step process Knowable Word provides will be of great benefit.
