The Basics of Bible Study introduces readers to the inductive Bible study method. They are taught how to study the Bible by books, chapters and by paragraphs; to search for keywords and discover the themes in God’s Word.This resource is helpful if you are just learning the inductive Bible study method. However, if you’ve already read How to Study Your Bile or The New How to Study Your Bible you’ll find that The Basics of Bible covers much of the same ground.The Basics of Bible Study teaches readers to question a text asking ‘Who’ ‘What’ ‘Where’ ‘Why’ ‘When’ and ‘How’ questions. As we make note of what is obvious in a text, the meaning and application become clear. The Basics of Bible Study takes the reader through a step-by-step process that can easily be followed until one becomes adept at studying God’s Word.I received an advance copy from NetGalley. A positive review was not required.

This short book is an excerpt from the longer book, "How to Study Your Bible." This pocket book focuses on the first step, Observation, in the Observation-Interpretation-Application approach to studying the Bible. I think it is a great resource to help individuals or groups by providing a clear framework of how to observe the text. It sounds easy but there are a lot of steps involved, it is for someone who really wants to study their Bible, not just read it and walk away. This book mentions several resources (worksheets) that the reader can use to help organize information but they seem to be only available in the complete book. It also references the New Inductive Study Bible as another resource to use this in study approach. I'd recommend this pocket book to readers who are serious about studying their Bible and need help on how to begin.* I received this book free of charge from NetGalley.

The Basic Steps of Bible Study By Kay Arthur is a wonderful introduction to inductive Bible study. This book is just what it describes-- it is very basic, it is a quick read, it is not meant to be an exhaustive approach to Bible study. But in the simplicity of the approach, this book is wonderful start for new Christians and just as wonderful as a refresher for seasoned believers. I think both would benefit from its wisdom and time tested methods. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

5 Stars: 5/5 StarsI am a student of the Bible and have been for many years, even taking seminary courses for pastor's wives, and this book is a wonderful study guide for those of all levels. I plan to purchase the NISB, New Inductive Study Bible, that Kay Arthur recommends in the book.I received a digital version of this book from netgalley and Harvest House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
