Passage
or Book: Who is the author of the book? To
whom is the author writing? What are the major
personalities mentioned? How well do they know
and understand each other? Historical Setting:
When was the book written? What is the historical
setting of the author? What is the historical
setting of the recipients? What was happening
in this part of the world at the time? Purpose:
Why was the book written? If there is a problem
to correct what was it? What was the author trying
to accomplish? Themes: What is the major emphasis
of the book? What are some of the recurring ideas?
What subjects does the book deal with?
Person: Read
the passage where the character appears, and try
to do a biographical sketch. Pay attention to
the character's growth in his or her relationship
to God. What were the major events in his or her
life? Who were some of his or her contemporaries?
What was this character's major achievement; what
influence did he or she have on people or events?
Choose a summary verse and a key verse that you
feel best describe the character. Make a summary
of the passage that you have read. Find out what
the leading lesson is in this character's life.
Identify problems or situations you have in common
with the character.
Event: Find
out about the historical context. Because the
Bible was written in a place and time unfamiliar
to us, we must work a little harder to understand
it. However, as we learn about the people and
places in the context of the passage, the Bible
will become both more real and more understandable
to us. Try to understand the problems of the people
in the passage. Look for clues in the passage
itself, as well as in a Bible dictionary and/or
almanac.
Cause and Effect:
Use for studying Proverbs and Ecclesiastes topics.
In the Narrated Bible, the Proverbs are rearranged
by topic, and Ecclesiastes is presented in an
order suggested by logical thought and progression.
