We watched a DVD called "Herman Who?", which is a teaching on Hermeneutics. It talks about how to study. Your post reminded me because the speaker's big thing was "context, context, context!" ha ha! Anyway, your tips are a lot of the same things they discussed, for example: know who the original audience was, What are the differences between us and the original audience?, what principle can we draw out of that? Is the scripture descriptive or prescriptive? He talks about exegesis (figuring out what the bible is saying) as opposed to exegesis (deciding what we want to say and then searching for scriptures that might support it). It was really a good meaty DVD. We have a group of six ladies, and we learned a LOT. <br /><br />Apart from that, I use http://www.blueletterbible.org a lot for references. Each scripture has a link for commentaries and even to original language. I have a bible blog that I do, and I'm currently going through Colossians. I go verse by verse and just kinda pick it apart and study it. It's at http://completeandequipped.blogspot.com if you'd like to take a look. <br /><br />Well, I guess I just went on and on here, but I got excited, your tips are right on!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910623858209472616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-32597403491718218262009-09-09T16:54:13.116-06:002009-09-09T16:54:13.116-06:00Very good advice - I whole-heartedly agree with ev...Very good advice - I whole-heartedly agree with every single recommendation!Amy Krupinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429356042856155835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-50505012844207581562009-09-09T11:21:19.758-06:002009-09-09T11:21:19.758-06:00GOOD ADVICE!
