Greetings All,
Tonight we talked about a method of Bible study known as inductive Bible study (IBS). It is a manner of going to the text aware of our presuppositions, attempting to set those aside and then allowing the text to speak to us on its own merits. This is the first of many Bible studies we will be doing over the next year and this is the manner in which I want us to approach the text so I have posted two links to articles about this method. The first is from Asbury Seminary where I learned the technique. It is a comprehensive site about this method which is the preferred method of study taught at the seminary. The second is to Intervarsity Press where they offer some helpful hints on how to go about IBS. Both are worthy of your time and will be helpful to you as we go through the year.

I also have embedded a video here of Dr. Robert Traina, who is a pioneer in this method, teaching a seminary class on how to go about IBS. The video is long, almost 100 minutes, but if you have the time it is excellent teaching from a great professor.
Your brother in Christ,
Faron
