Learn to Study the Bible

40 Bible Study Methods, 4th May 2010

Reviewer: Carol Crisafi

I’ve never purchased a book on how to study the Bible because I thought I knew all of the methods. The major methods include: * Topical studies * Character studies * Word studies. To my surprise, I found that this doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of the different types of studies. Yes, there really are 40 different, viable study methods in this book and it doesn’t even count the methods specifically for younger students. (Five additional methods.) Andy’s book goes into great detail and gives a hand-written example of each method. Each method is designed to help you delve deeper into God’s Word, gleaning as much truth and understanding as possible. For me personally, since I’ve employed some of his methods and seen things I haven’t seen before, it has caused me to reevaluate some erroneous beliefs I held. He does not give commentary, so he is not the reason for this reevaluation. It is because I’m looking at the Bible more carefully using these methods. I highly recommend this book.
