Descriere

nLearn the basics of inductive Bible study in a few minutes, gain valuable skills for a lifetime. nKnowable 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. nBuilding 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. nAnd don't miss Peter Krol's companion volume: Sowable Word: Helping Ordinary People Learn to Lead Bible Studies nThe first edition of Knowable Word was rated 4.4 of 5 stars on Amazon, with more than 50 verified reviews, including these comments: nWhy 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. Some were too technical and opaque, others were like Bible study lite. Others attempted to be simple, but weren't clear. This book is simple, clear, and even better helpful! 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 its wealth. The effort will reward you. n*** nSo 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. n*** nI 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. n*** nThis book
