Inductive Study Tools


My children and I just finished up Kay Arthur's book teaching children how to do an inductive Bible study.  I hope this summary of the tools for inductive study help you delve into the Word of God and discover TruthHimself:

• Observe the text by looking at context
• Search for key words
• Interrogate the text by asking the 5 Ws and an H question
• Make lists
• Find contrasts and comparison
• Look at terms of conclusion
• Find figures of speech
• Use a concordance and Bible dictionaries
• Look up cross-references
• Know the importance of historical and cultural context
• Make a chart summarizing the theme of each chapter of the Book of the Bible you are studying
