What precisely do we mean by Inductive Bible Study? Amazingly, most student have a very vague understanding of what this is. We have bits of knowledge of what this is, but at best, a student, and yes, a minister’s understanding is by no means organized and thorough. One of the reasons why this is the case is our failure to do methodical steps, wherein each step is analyzed in relation to the other steps. This can be painstaking if we are new, but very rewarding once it becomes second nature to the student. This is the reason why I am teaching this course. I would like to present methodical steps in doing inductive Bible Study.

To accomplish the objective above, I will include acknowledged general patterns, and proven practices that have helped exegetes in history. We need to accept that what has been helpful will continue to be helpful. There is no need re-inventing the wheels. Now, I am not going to promise that once we learned the principles here that it is going to automatically turn everyone into scholars and teachers. Just like knowing the recipe of a dish will not guarantee that you will turn into an excellent cook. But I hope that we will all find these methods useful in our exegetical journey. It will take consistent, diligent and patient utilization of the principles learned that will lead us to better application.
