How to Study the Bible – Interpreting God’s Word
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path – Psalm 119:105
This seminar series was designed for those desiring to learn more about how to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). It explains in detail the fundamental steps of biblical interpretation, otherwise known as hermeneutics. The best way to engage with this material is to print out the workbook pages (available in pdf format) and create your own 3-ring binder which you can use to follow along the lessons and take notes. This will be a great resource for your library.
