Here's a link to the PDF for this study method. drive.google.com/file/d/1z__eAEj7ndr4d7KZY3oWMx_wH0-0kQLw/view?usp=drivesdk I hope this helps you out! If there's anything you think I should add to it or modify or change feel free to let me know!
Thanks for sharing! I incorporate several of your steps already when reading the Bible. One of the things I do, I look for cross references, as I look for scripture to interpret scripture. I ask a lot of questions, I try to interview the author, trying to understand the context and why would God say this? Once I’ve come to a conclusion, I go to a commentary to check myself. Deut 29:29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Great ideas and will definitely “liberate” them to incorporate into my own study. Don’t forget the LSB as a solid translation that will adhere more closely to the original languages too. I’ve been working on a study process based on the transcendentals (e.g. truth, goodness and beauty) that channels the verse analysis into each of those three perspectives, but your method here certainly can overlap with that and other methods nicely 😊
Indeed, the 3 most important principles to utilize in Bible study are context, context, and context. Of course, context requires intentional thinking about key words, phrases, and their relationship to each other.
You articulate your study method a bit differently from me. But essentially this is how I teach others to study a passage. Common sense. Knowing what questions to ask of a text is a key tool. And be skeptical of your conclusions until you cannot shoot any more holes in it.
Howard G. Hendricks wrote a book called "Living By the Book". It is an awesome step by step guide to not only how to read but also how to study God's Word.
Couple quick questions. Are you doing this level of study in your Pitt Minion? Dou have keep a journal on the side why you are contemplating and thinking about the text?
@@Yeshuite yes I do this level of studying in my Pitt minion. I do keep a journal on the side, where I write down my questions. The reason I'm asking questions is because it helps me contemplate and meditate more on what I'm reading. I hope this answered your question
@@JohnMiles117 it does thank you so much. Your recent videos got me using my 3 year old calf split ESV Pitt minion again. At 47 I can still read comfortably but readers make the experience better. It’s such a fun bible. When I want a longer more comfortable experience I’ll read my NKJV single column reference compact bible, ESV personal size study, NKJV premier large print thinline blue goatskin. Great reader but it is a little awkward for carrying around.
@Yeshuite I couldn't agree more. Thankfully my eyesight is still excellent, but I can definitely see how it could become a problem someday. You're right though it's just such a handy size. Both those other Bibles are fantastic! I've only heard great things about them
God bless you brother, thank you for this! I'm going to give it a shot, I just has a single question if you had time to answer: When you say 'stuck on a passage', would you use this method for an entire chapter or larger, or just a verse or two? Also, I don't think you talked about 'context'. So how would you add that into the mix? Read a super simple book overview first, like something at the start of a book in a study bible? TY!
@@jonathanrector that's a great question! I use this for both reading large sections and smaller sections, I 100% agree with you that getting the context is very important. I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a summary of a chapter or book beforehand, I was primarily referring specifically to the theological discussions within a passage, or trying to figure out what the writer may be saying in a passage. I was just saying that sometimes if you read something in a certain passage, and maybe confused by it, this is the method that I would use before going immediately to a commentary or footnote. I hope this helped you.
Great video. I've just subscribed. I'm curious, is your everyday Bible the NASB Pitt Minion or an ESV Classic Reference? I can't tell. Keep up the great content!
@@MikeLaneOfficial thanks! My everyday Bible is pretty much the nasb Pitt minion. I have another Bible that's larger that I keep at the house that I consider my "main" Bible that I try to consolidate all my notes in, but in reality I end up spending most of my time in my Pitt minion lol.

@@brothermike316 very cool! If you finish that reading plan definitely send it my way
