Listen Later

Emma and Suzanne discuss the Inductive Bible Study Method and how you can apply this method to a 15 minute Bible study routine. 

 


Inductive Bible Study Method:

Observe

  1. Observe = What does the text say? 
  2. Pick 1-2 of these to observe in the text: 
    1. Attributes of God
    2. Repeated words
    3. Lists
    4. Comparisons/contrasts
    5. Questions
    6. Commands
    7. Transition words
    8. Unfamiliar words

      9. Interpret

      1. Interpret = What does the text mean? 
      2. Interpretation looks at:
        1. Historical Context
        2. Literary Context
        3. Metanarrative of the Bible
        4. Redemptive History
        5. Ask yourself these questions in interpretation:
          1. What questions do you have about the text? 
            1. Tip: This is where study Bibles and commentaries are really helpful!
            2. If you were to summarize the passage in one sentence, what would you say?

              3. Apply

              1. Apply = What does the text mean for me today?
              2. Ask yourself these questions: 
                1. What does this passage teach us about God?
                2. What does this passage teach us about humanity? 
                3. Is there a command I need to obey?
                4. How does this point to Christ? 
                  1. Tips for finding the Christ connection: 
                    1. Does it show a need for Christ? 
                    2. Is there a promise or prophecy about Christ?
                    3. Is Christ present in the text?
