How to Study the Bible

1. Read the text.
What is your first reaction?
Are there unfamiliar expressions with their meanings or modern English equivalents of these expressions.
2. Read the text again.
Substitute the unfamiliar expressions are repeated? are similar? are contrasting?
Who are the people involved?
What are the places or things mentioned?
In what way are these places or things related with the people?
What happens between the beginning and end of the text?
Are there any changes? What are these changes?
How do these changes happen?
What does the text say to you, literally?
3. Read the text once more.
Remember that the Word here are merely symbolic. What idea is represented by these expressions?
How does this idea help you conduct your life?
