Unfortunately, if you are ill-equipped, studying the Bible can also be intensely frustrating. For example, how do we know when the Bible is being literal and when it's being figurative-and how can we tell the difference without a degree in theology? What do history and culture have to do with studying the Bible? Are there principles for interpreting parables, allegories, prophecies? Is Revelation different? Because questions like these are inescapable, "Understinding Scripture: How to read and Study the Bible" is a must for the individual interested in maximizing his or her time in Bible study. This book arose out of Alvera and Berkeley Mickelsen's life-long passion for helping people understand the Bible and its significance for their lives. Now in a thorough revision of the 1978 edition co-authored with her husband, Alvera Mickelsen once again shows how principles of interpreting God's word can make Scripture come alive in an unprecedented way.

Download or read book The Bible written by Bible Guides and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible: How To Read, Understand, and Study The BibleThe Bible is an incredible book. When we are discouraged it can offer us hope, when we're afraid it can help us feel reassured, and when we're excited and brimming over with joy, it has the ability to perfectly capture what we want to say. Yet sometimes it can also be confusing. If we're honest, we don't always know how to read certain passages. For example, when Jesus says: "If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do" (John 13:14-15), does this mean that we should actually wash one another's feet or that we should behave humbly with each other? Maybe at church we should have foot-washings, alongside of Bible study and evangelism classes?These are just some of the types of questions that can come up when we are trying to understand God's word. This would all be fine if we were just studying it for curiosity's sake, but chances are you also want to live it out. Whether you're a believer whose either grown up in a Christian home and come to realize how true it is, or you've recently put your faith in Jesus, and want to follow him, this is important to you. The reason is because when we love someone we want to do right by them. It is no different with our Lord. This is why the better we can understand the Scriptures, the better we will understand him, and the better we will be able to align our lives with what makes him happy. Bible Guidesis a series intended to help us learn how to better read and understand the Bible. This book gives a broad overview to the entire Bible: explaining how to read its different books so that we can read it, interpret it, and study it. Other books in the Bible Guides series will go deeper, focusing on specific books in the Bible, and giving us guidance on how they each talk and think about God. We suggest beginning with this book. If you are serious student of God's Word, this is the series for you!I promise you if you commit yourself to learning the Bible, you'll be blessed. This isn't just my word though, it's also God's:Blessed is the man who does not walkin the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the way of sinners,nor sit in company with scoffers.2Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy;and on his law he meditates day and night.3He is like a treeplanted near streams of water,that yields its fruit in season;Its leaves never wither;whatever he does prospers.Psalms 1:1-3The Bible: How To Read, Understand, and Study The Bible
