When I started learning how to read the bible, by learning to read it I mean understanding what I’m reading, I went around to different churches and people I know to ask what they did. I was surprised to discover that many people aren’t doing this, and the excuse is usually because they went to church and that was the easiest way to study it! I have to hand it to them that this is true, however I believe you need your own perspective on the information so it’s important to study it yourself as well. I’m starting to learn the Book-by-Book Bible Study methods so i can systematically learn how each book differs from the rest, as well as how they all relate to one another. It’s really interesting how the bible is more holographic than people realize (all parts contain the whole of the information).
