Bible
Studying the Bible
Observe, interpret, apply — in context and community.
Good reading pays attention to genre, historical setting and the flow of the whole book before drawing conclusions from a single verse.
Reading with others — a group, a commentary, the historic church — guards against reading only your own assumptions back into the text.
Key verses
Rightly handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
