BI100 Learn to Study the Bible
Overview
Dr. Darrell Bock, one of the world’s foremost biblical scholars, has distilled his decades of research and teaching experience into this single course on how to study the Bible with Logos Bible Software. Dr. Bock begins by teaching you how to read Scripture in four basic steps. Then he teaches you how to study Scripture by understanding the original context and genre it was written in. He describes the social, literary, and historical elements of context; following that, he covers genres, like narrative and biography, and subgenres, like those in the Psalms. The accompanying tutorials take Dr. Bock’s teaching even further. Learn how to use Logos’ tools and resources to uncover the historical context of a passage, explore the life of a Bible character, and more. If you want to study the Bible on a deeper level, and you need a place to start, this course was designed for you.

“When you interpret the Bible, there’s something that should be ringing in the back of your ears as you do your study, no matter where you are in the process—and that little refrain should be, ‘Context! Context! Context!’ because how you execute working with the context, and handling that best, is going to determine the quality and the accuracy of your Bible study. So knowing what the setting is for the passage and how it’s operating is extremely important in interpretation.” (source)
“Observation asks basic questions about who, what, when, where, and how.” (source)
“One of the points of observation is trying to decide the really important parts of the passage that you need to pay attention to.” (source)
“Part of interpretation is actually sorting out which reading or understanding is more likely than the other.” (source)
“Observation [involves] core questions like who, what, when, where, how, and why, and all you’re trying to do in observing is seeing what’s there.” (source)
