STUDIES BY SESSION LENGTH
ONCE YOU SELECT A BOOK:
After selecting a book to study, you’ll first want to identify what type of literature you are reading by checking out the genre overview.
Next, read the book overview to understand the context, author, and intended audience.Each book also contains a one page overview with key ideas as well as a reading plan and study questions.
The chapter summaries are designed for studying along with your Bible reading.
Use these summaries to gain a broader understanding of the context while listening to a sermon, following along with a Bible study, or simply refreshing your memory. Most importantly, don’t stop here. This was never meant to be a substitute for the real thing - God is the best author and the Bible is far better than any summary.
BIBLE TRANSLATIONS:
You are welcome to use whatever translation you enjoy reading most. Although we TYPICALLY RECOMMEND THE ESV OR NIV, there are plenty of great options. Along with reading the translation you choose, we also recommend reading THE MESSAGE, which is a paraphrase written by Eugene Peterson.
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Some of the English translations have been translated more formally in a word-by-word format, where each word of the original language is captured as literally as possible. Others are translated more dynamically in a thought-by-thought format, where each phrase is translated into a more easily readable sentence.
