True to the Word Four Quadrants Approach to Bible Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
An overriding concern of those who read and study the Bible is, ‘What is the most effective way to study the Bible?’ there are many methodologies that have been employed by trained exegetes, pastors, and members of the church. This article samples some of these methodologies and then makes a proposal based on the four quadrants of a circle. The interchange between the four quadrants is viewed as producing a highly effective method of Bible study. While the study primarily targets pastors and church members, it can also benefit trained exegetes.
