Ferrin’s process of inductive Bible study takes on a relational approach that consists of three essential parts or phases titled Foundation, Framing, and Finish Work. The structured methods encompass studying a book of the Bible and internalizing it rather than just memorizing the words (p. 3).

helped me. Science does get carried away at times; however, it is good that people are questioning stories from the bible because then we can see how corrupt the world is. Why can 't faith exist? Why does everything have to be black and white? The real truth is within yourself! Believing or not believing in something is solely your decision.

Strangeness during Medieval Period According to the European history, the period between years 500-1600 has always been referred to as the medieval period.

criticism, as a subfield of biblical exegesis, is to study the biblical materials as a reflection of their cultural setting. The meaning and/or the social background of the text are thus more fully illumined by the exercise of sociological and anthropological methods and theories.

I have been teaching doctoral seminars on the Hebrew Bible for ten years and have directed seven doctoral dissertations to completion. My model of a seminar is reading and critical study of the Masoretic text, supplemented with the ancient versions, as well as archaeological and textual sources from elsewhere in the Ancient Near East. We read an extensive amount of secondary scholarship and theory. Although there is much enthusiasm today for learning about biblical research by doing it, yielding
In his book, Studies in Galatians, Tom Wacaster addresses a very vital need: to provide common-level, sound commentaries of the Bible. Books such as this are very beneficial, as they assist an “average” member of the church to expand their understanding of God’s word.
