SUBJECT: 5 - Study of the Books in Order
Other Subjects in this Topic:
STUDY OF THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE IN THE ORDER GIVEN IN THE BIBLE
Advantages:
1. It is the only method by which you will get an idea of the Book as a whole.
2. It is the only method by which you are likely to cover the whole Book, and so take in the entire scope of God's Rev_3:1-22. It is the best method to enable one to get hold of the unity of the Bible and its organic character.
4. It is a great corrective to one-sidedness and crankiness, i.e., Calvinistic and Arminian, Trinitarian and Unitarian, etc.
It would be well to have three methods of study in progress at the same time:
1. The study of some book.
2. The study of topics (perhaps topics suggested by the book studies).
3. The study of the Bible in course.
(Every other method of Bible study should be supplemented by studying the Bible in course.)
