Reading For Understanding

SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY is designed to increase our knowledge and understanding of God's Word by a detailed study of a particular book, chapter, theme, character, topic or word.

•  Study of a BOOK to find out when it was written, to whom and why
•  Study of a THEME eg The Story of Redemption from GENESIS TO REVELATION
•  Study of a CHARACTER eg David: A Man After God's Heart; Abraham: The Father of Faith
•  Study of a TOPIC or WORD such as faith, grace, forgiveness, repentance, salvation, etc.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16  All scripture is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and is useful for instruction, for conviction of sin, for setting things straight, and for training in living a life that pleases God.

There are several methods of systematic Bible study. A practical guide to these is Rick Warren's PERSONAL BIBLE STUDY METHODS.
