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.
