Interpretation: Noticing Connectives and Seeing The Argument Develop in a Context
When you see “Therefore…” in the Scriptures, do you stop and look at what was written prior?  Bob and Shawn discuss the importance of minding the connectives in the Bible, reading various translations, and the role of prayer and mediation in Bible study.

Interpretation: Key Phrases & Big Ideas
It’s important to study the phrases that are quoted over and over in the Bible. Do a word study on the word, then the phrase as a whole, using the entirety of the context. Bob and Shawn’s  discussion on this type of Bible study will encourage and enlighten you.

Observation: Asking Questions of the Text
The Bible was intended for specific people and specific circumstances. We need to look at each book in the Bible and ask who it was addressed to, when it happened, etc. Today’s broadcast highlights how to observe each book and learn from the text.

Word Studies
Word studies are an important part of effective Bible study. Depending on the context, words can have different meanings. If you come across a word in your daily reading, you should check an interlinear Bible to see what the meaning in Greek is. Listen to Bob and Shawn’s excellent discussion on word studies and their helpful suggestions.

Typology and Types in the Bible
Have you heard of Origen, the Father of Allegory? Bob and Shawn discussed the Allegorical Method of Bible study yesterday, proving that it was not an accurate way. We should be cautious with how we view types in Scripture. We need to allow the Word to speak to us in the Grammatical Historical context in which it was written.

The Allegorical Method & The Redemptive Historical Approach Method
Yesterday, Bob and Shawn discussed how the Grammatical Historical Method is the best way to study the Bible. What are the Allegorical and Redemptive Historical Approaches to study? Are either of these good methods of Bible study?

The Grammatical Historical Method
In yesterday’s program, Bob and Shawn discussed the different genres included in the Bible. Today they mention one more–eschatological books, or prophetic books. These books make up a quarter of the Bible! So when we study the Bible, we need to do so in a Grammatical Historical way. What does that mean? Listen to Bob and Shawn’s excellent discussion to find out.

Genres in the Bible
The Bible is more of a library than just a book. It has law books, history books, books of poetry, and more. Bob and Shawn discuss these genres of the Bible in today’s broadcast of Grace in Focus Radio.

God Wants Us to Study the Bible
We start a new series this week titled “How to Study the Bible”. God has asked us to study His word; see Psalm 119 for proof. We need to search the Scriptures to give us assurance of what we believe. Let us all be Bereans!

Does it Matter Which Version of the Bible I Use?
Bob wrote an article in Grace in Focus magazine titled “Seven Leading English Bible Translations” where he gives excellent analysis of seven of the translations out there. You can view part 1 of the article here. Which version is the best? Plus, isn’t repentance part of the gospel and what about sin? Jesus took care of the sin problem but we need to repent to be in full fellowship with Him. Bob and Shawn discuss these great questions in today’s broadcast.
