Bible Study Tips

Here are seven study tips I’ve found over the years that have aided in my personal Biblical studies. Here they are:

  • TIP #1: Suspend your beliefs so as to examine the text objectively.
  • TIP #2: Assume you know nothing about the matter being studied in order to maximize your learning potential.
  • TIP #3: Understand the difference between translated words and defined words.
  • TIP #4: There is no capitalization or punctuation in the Hebrew and Greek texts.
  • TIP #5: Both translations and Bible definitions can be biased, so be wary of this. Remain flexible in your understandings.
  • TIP #6: Words can change their meanings over time. Be careful not to read modern understandings of English words into translated text from centuries ago.
  • TIP #7: Realize words in the source language can sometimes be hidden behind English translations. Don’t assume, investigate.
