A lthough this book bears my name, it is a team effort. My original work, begun in the 1970s, has been edited, supplemented, polished, and refined by Precept Ministries Training Team. This dedicated team of men and women, along with our Precept Trainers worldwide, bring to this book years of experience. Together they have trained thousands of people from all walks of life to study the Bible using the Precept Upon Precept method of inductive study. In fact our Precept Inductive Bible studies are in approximately 70 languages and used in about 150 countries.
People who never graduated from high school as well as seminary graduates have said over and over that the Precept Training Workshops and/or the doing of a Precept Course taught them more than they had ever experienced before, or in many cases, more than they thought they could ever learn.
Thus this book is a combined effort of people from across this nation, Canada, and many parts of the world who have the same passionto establish Gods people in Gods Word as that which produces reverence for Him (Psalm 119:38). That group of people also includes every one of Precept Ministries home-base staff of more than 100 men and women, who each in their faithfulness to their task have contributed in their own valuable way.
And for that reason this book is dedicated...
to Precepts Training Team at the home base,
to our Precept Trainers who live across this nation and in various parts of the world and who travel wherever theyre sent (even to Siberia),
to every faithful Precept Leader here and around the world who spends hours each week studying Gods Word so that others might know Him, and,
to our beloved staff who stand by the stuff day in and day out working unitedly for the glory of One and One alone, our head, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We all do this joyfully, grateful to God for His calling, for we know and believe that the people who know their God will be strong and do exploits for Him (Daniel 11:32b)and that is what our world desperately needs more than anything else.
To each of you, Beloved, I say,
May the Lord reward your work, and your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.
RUTH 2:12
Step One: Overview
(Remember, the overview is usually reserved for letters. For history and prophecy, chapter-by-chapter study works best. Also, in letters, you can develop the book theme before the chapter themes, but in other genres, you should develop the chapter themes first. All of the other steps below work well for all kinds of books.)
1. Begin and continue with an attitude of prayer.
2. Read and re-read the book to be studied.
3. Identify the type of literature with which you are dealing.
4. Deal with the book objectively.
5. As you continually read, be sure that you are reading with a purpose by asking the 5 Ws and an H (who, what, when, where, why, and how) kinds of questions.
6. To discover the context of any book, begin by identifying the facts about any people and events mentioned.
7. Read and re-read the text until you discover those words and phrases that are repeated. Mark these key words and phrases. Then make brief lists in the margin of the text from the key words and phrases.
8. Identify the main theme that best summarizes the book (the summary statement).
9. Construct an At a Glance chart.
10. Discover a theme (summary statement) for each chapter which both supports the book theme and encompasses the theme or message in each chapter.
11. Identify segment divisions.
Step Two: Chapter Study
1. Begin with prayer.
2. Read through the Observation Worksheet of the chapter looking for those things that are obvious.
3. Deal with the chapter objectively.
4. Read with a purpose by asking 5 Ws and an H (who, what, when, where, why, and how) kinds of questions.
5. Look for the obvious.
6. Look for and mark key words and/or key phrases.
7. Make lists from the key words.
8. God reveals truth in many ways in His Word. Read through the text again looking for each of the following: contrasts, comparisons, terms of conclusion, and expressions of time.
9. Determine the chapter theme (summary statement).
10. Determine the paragraph themes (summary statements).
Step Three: Word Studies
(Word studies are less frequently done in Old Testament books in our courses. Be judicious in this step so you dont try to retranslate the book.)
1. The purpose for doing word studies is to understand the meaning of a word or words in the context you are studying.
2. The essential word study tools are an exhaustive concordance and an expository dictionary of biblical words.
3. Further word study skillsdiscovering the meaning of the original Greek or Hebrew wordscan be helpful to a correct interpretation and application of Scripture.
Step Four: Cross-References
1. A cross-reference is a reference to another Scripture that supports, illumines, or amplifies the Scripture you are studying.
2. The best interpretation of Scripture is other Scripture.
3. Helpful tools are a concordance, a topical Bible, or the reference system in your own Bible.
JOHN AT A GLANCE
2 Timothy
Chapter One
Because this Observation Worksheet is not printed in color, the references to the author (Paul) and the recipient (Timothy) have been printed in shades of gray. Normally we would use two different colors to distinguish them.
W ith the rise of computer programs, websites, and online tools, you may choose to do your word studies without printed books. At the end of this appendix, we have included a list of helpful websites that simplify the process of discovering word meanings. Many books that were reserved only for those who had studied Hebrew and Greek in Bible college or seminary are now easy to use in computer programs. These books are superior to the print ones mentioned in this appendix, which were chosen for their ease of use. For more information on Greek, we recommend William D. Mounces Greek for the Rest of Us.
