Description

If you have found books on the subject of personal Bible study that are either far too simplistic, or vastly too complex for you to make use of, Doriani's book is a welcome breath of fresh air. He has written in a way that will help anyone - pastor or new Christian - grasp the tools that you need to deepen your knowledge of Scripture and your ability to interpret it correctly.

The book is organized around the outline of studying:
* Context
* Analysis
* Problems
* Themes
* Obligations
* Reflection

Doriani explains very well how a Bible student can study both literary context and historical context, and unlike most books on hermeneutics, he is very strong on helping the reader make valid observations and sound and accurate applications of the text to life.
