There is room for notes on these pages, so you may concentrate on the content of the lecture, and you don’t have to type or write like mad, just to get the information down. The files are also available in PDF-Format either through your course-leaders or on our website. This method goes along with some “working papers” on a given book (eg. Ephesians or Philemon etc.), so some more “Material” is used in order to learn how do work this way of studying. Just a word about this method: In Youth with a Mission we call this method the “inductive approach to biblestudy”, or simply “inductive biblestudy”. There are also other possible names for this way of working when you study your Bible. Some decades ago also the term “critical biblestudy” was used for example. The following explanation is a “simple” way of using this method, in a setting that would allow you to do your studies besides any other work or job. So we are talking about what would be possible for someone to do in his or her spare time. Still this would mean to invest time and energy, but cleary in a limited way. While this method is the same as in the Schools of Biblical Studies in principle, it is not the same in terms of depth or investment of time. So in the School of Biblical Studies, we would go much deeper especially in analyzing paragraphs (will be explained) than in this simplified method here. Our concern for setting up this “simplified version” was: how could someone with a limited amount of available time still study the Bible inductively, and how could this be communicated in a simple way to people who are not trained in acedemic studies? The result is summed up in these pages. Of course we continually work on this, as we have used this method for many years now in various church settings in Switzerland, but so far the use of this method by many and various people and their feedback has shown that this is a practicable way of doing Bible Study. It is by far not the only way, of this we are aware, but it is none the less a very thorough way and it has helped many people to find a new approach of studying their Bibles and discovering the relevant message of the Bible for their own lives and the life of the Church. This way it is at least a valid contribution to the fact that many people do not know how they could read or study their Bibles, but still live with the permanent challenge, that they should none the less do it. So we hope that this will also be a valid contribution to your life of study and that God may continually “meet” you in your times with him, when you read and study the Bible. bsbs-modul-0-methode-e.wpd / 2011-08-23 / Heinz Zenger -

b-sbs Wiler / Page 18 of 25 The procedure at a glance Survey Survey Method Observe Analysis Analytic Method Read the book as a whole (answer already what you can) • What kind of literature is this? • What is the general theme or the main thought? • What is the author’s intention/purpose with this book/letter? • How is the message structured? • Who wrote this to whom, when, where and why? Read the book paragraph by paragraph & give each paragraph a title (max. 4/5 words, unchanged & out the respective paragrap) Read again paragraph by paragraph and observe: Interpret • What language is being used - what DOES the text say? (Prose or Poetry? Theological statements? Exhortation or Command? Narrative? Parable? Prophecy? Song?) • What is going on IN the text - what is the CONTENT? (Who does what, to whom, when, where, why, how and with what Result? - and possibly more questions) Language Read once more paragr. by paragr. & work on the meaning ? • • What DID the terms used MEAN? (Terms, figures of speech or rhetorical figures?) What DID the text MEAN in history or culture THEN? (People, Times, Places) Meaning After some paragr.: How are they structured, connected? • How is the text structured, arranged, arguments? Structure (Comparison, Contrast, Repetition, Emphasis or DeEmphasis, Continuity - where do themes end, Summary Sentences) Synthesis Synthetic Method Apply As you work: Be open for God to speak to you through various passages. Whatever he says, or you believe he says, write it down, to be able to think and pray about this & to see if he is confirming it later. Observe Read the WHOLE book again and aks some more questions: keeping in mind what you have discovered so far: • How is the whole book structured? (Topical, Chronolog., Geograph., Biograph., Logical, in Letter-, Drama-, or Poetic Form or as Anthology?) • Answer the remaining open questions of the Survey Method • If possible draw a visual Chart of the book (Horizont. Chart) • Let the whole book have an impact on you (Re-evaluate your findings, Impressions, think through the Applications, get a final total impression of the book ) Interpret Apply METHODS STEPS QUESTIONS bsbs-modul-0-methode-e.wpd / 2011-08-23 / Heinz Zenger - b-sbs Wiler / Page 19 of 25 Reading times for each book of the Bible The Old Testament: The New Testament: The Pentateuch: Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy 3h35 3h10 2h30 3h 2h35 The historical books (Gospels & Acts): The Early Prophets: Joshua Judges 1&2 Samuel 1&2 Kings 2h10 2h 2h15 & 2h10 2h40 & 2h30 The Latter Prophets: The Major Prophets: Isaiah Jeremiah Ezekiel 3h10 3h55 2h25 The Minor Prophets: Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi 35min 15min 30min 5min 10min 20min 10min 10min 10min 10min 35min 15min 2h10 1h15 & 55 & 40 & 35 & 1h15 1h35 The festal scrolls (Meggilloth): Ruth Song of Songs (S. of Solomon) Ecclesiastes Lamentations Esther 15min 15min 30min 20min 30min The book of Daniel: Daniel 1h10 The Chronistic writings: 1&2 Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah 2h35 & 2h 10 40min 55min Old Testament reading time 59h 15 2h30 1h45 2h55 The Acts: Acts of the Apostles 2h40 The Letters of Paul (Pauline writings): The Early Letters: Galatians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Romans 20min 15min 10min 1h 40min 1h The Prison Letters: Philippians Philemon Colossians Ephesians 15min 5min 15min 20min The Pastoral Letters: 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus 15min 10min 10min The Catholic (general) letters & Hebrews: The Writings: The books of Wisdom: Job Psalms Proverbs The Synoptic Gospels: Matthew Mark Luke The Catholic Letters: James 1 Peter 2 Peter Jude 15min 15min 10min 5min Hebrews 45min The Johannine writings: The Gospel of John 2h35 The Letters of John: 1 John 2 John 3 John 15min 5min 5min Revelation 1h10 New Testament reading time 20h 25 Total Reading time of the whole Bible 79h 40 Reading out loud in a NRSV-English version, rather fast reading with the purpose to get a primary overview of a book.

Simile Direct comparison of 2 things ess. diffrent - like/as/so Example: Jer 23:29; Mat 3:16 Parable Extended Simile, not comparing individual terms, but the point of a story. Example: Mat 13:33 (God makes great things out of small beginnings - yeast in leaven) Metaphor Indirect comparison. Substitutes name of one for another. Like simile but no connectives. Example: Gen 49:9,14,17; Luk 13:31f (Fox) Allegory Extended metaphor in form of a story Example: S of S 2:15 (Girls=Vineyards, threatened by the Young men=Foxes ask for help) Irony Implying something diffrent even opposite. humour/sarcasm Example: 1 Ki. 2:22; 2 Cor. 11;19f Personification Giving inanimate objects the attributes of life Example: Prov 20:1; 1 Cor. 15:55 Hyperbole Exaggeration with intent to emphasize and intensify. Example: Gen 11:4; Ps 3:7; Mat 23:24 Rhetorical question Questions posed for which no answer is expected. Example: Gal 3:1-5,19,25 Litotes Use of understatement. opposite of hyperbole - often irony Example: Is 10:7b; Rom 1:13 Metonomy Substitution of one term for another. (circumcision-jews) Example: Gen 6:11 (Earth=Inhabitants); Mat 20:22b (Cup=Content of cup, suffering) Synecdoche Part of something is mentioned, but the whole is meant. Like Metonomy, often not distiguishable Example: Gen 19:8 they have come under the shelter of my roof (roof is for whole house) Anthropomorphism Understanding of God as human being with human attributes. Example: Ex 15:6 Your right hand - O Lord - is glorious in power Idiom Expression belonging to particular language, often with meaning that cannot be guessed from the words only without cultural or linguistic background. Example: 2Sam 3:10 from Dan to Beersheba (means whole of Israel from north to south). Euphemism Mild expression for something that is offensive Example: Gen 24:2 (under my tigh=Penis); Mat 1:25 (did not know her=no sexual rel.ship) bsbs-modul-0-methode-e.wpd / 2011-08-23 / Heinz Zenger - b-sbs Wiler / Page 21 of 25 Book overview - sample page Literature ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

Either you may want to use the books while working on your Bibletext, or you may want to read them for Background information or some extra studies. These books are in general not very complicated, yet you will have to actively think along as you read. In terms of Language they are reasonably simple to understand, and they are good tools for Biblestudy. New Bible Dictionary (Recommended for the b-sbs or the sbs) Ein kompaktes, einbändiges Lexikon, welches sich vorzüglich als Arbeitsbuch für das Bibelstudium eignet. Mehr als 6000 Artikel zu Geschichte, Archäologie, Personen und Geographie der Bibel. Das Lexikon wird laufend nachgeführt und überarbeitet und ist somit auf einem guten, modernen Stand. Natürlich hat das Lexikon als einbändiges Werk vom Volumen her seine Grenzen, aber es ist trotzdem ein sehr umfassendes Werk und genügt allemal für das persönliche Bibelstudium. ISBN: 978-3-417-24678-0 Verlag: Brockhaus/Brunnen Autor: Fritz Rienecker / Gerhard Maier Preis: ca. Fr. 37.Das Grosse Bibellexikon (2 Bände) Für all diejenigen, die es gerne etwas umfangreicher haben als im "Lexikon zur Bibel" und die auch gerne mehr Grafiken und Bilder zur Hand haben möchten, empfiehlt sich die neuere Ausgabe des Grossen Bibellexikons in zwei Bänden. Früher in drei, zwischendurch als wirklich heftiges Buch in einem Band erhältlich, sind nun die vielen Informationen in zwei Bänden im Schuber herausgegeben worden. 3000 Stichworte - 2500 Artikel - 1500 Abbildungen, Karten, Diagramme etc. ISBN 3-417-26300-X ISBN-13 978-3-417-26300-8 Verlag: SCM R. Brockhaus Verlag Herausgeber: Helmut Burkhardt, Fritz Grünzweig, Fritz Laubach, Gerhard Maier Preis ca.

The Bible (English Standard Version ESV for the b-sbs) For Biblestudy you would want to use a bible translation, which is as accurately as possible, or “close to the original Text”, in order that you still get some impression of the Hebrew or Greek text that is “behind” our translation. In English this is either the English Standard Version (which we use in our papers as well), or the New Revised Standard Version or American Standard Version. For more information, ask your Bookdealer. Of importance is also that the Print will distract you as little as possible from simply “reading the text. In other words; it should help you to read without distractions, parallel passages or explanations should be outside of the text, it should have as few titles as possible within the text (they were not part of the original text). More about this in the explanation of the method - Overhead 11.
