How to Study the Bible

D.L. Moody impacted his generation for our LORD JESUS CHRIST and not just in the USA, but worldwide. The reason he did, was he knew the LORD and GOD of the HOLY SCRIPTURES! The true church of CHRIST has been weakened today because Christians don’t know the HOLY SCRIPTURES, therefore causing them to be weaklings. They’ve forgotten the words of the LORD JESUS CHRIST from Matthew 28:18-20 to go into ALL the world and make disciples. You can’t do that without applying GOD’s WORD to your life!!

This book was wonderful, very easy to understand and scripturally based, I will be recommending this book to my friends to read and enjoy ❤️

This book was better than I expected. It's quaint in places, obviously dated in its resource suggestions, and at times disjointed. Having said that, Moody was clearly a man who loved God's word, and some of the illustrations and anecdotes are fantastic. Not something I'd hand out to a new believer, there are better and more recent books. But a fun and easy read to prod you toward a deeper commitment to God's word.

Great deal of information is given to consider when studying the Bible distinguishing the Old Testament from the New Testament rightly dividing the Word of God.

Dwight Moody (1837-1899) was an evangelist, publisher, educator, writer, church founder, and a number of other things. He founded the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Moody Press, and the Northfield and Mount Hermon schools in Massachusetts. He became an evangelist when he visited Britain in 1872, and his meetings were often attended by thousands of people. One notable event at the Royal Botanic Gardens drew a crowd of between 15,000 and 30,000 people.Moody wrote about prayer, the 10 commandments and other Bible topics. His sermons were collected and published. And he wrote a book entitled “How to Study the Bible,” recently updated and republished by Aneko Press.It says some for the man’s simple and basic approach to Bible study that what he recommends is as current today as it was more than a century ago.He begins the book with several chapters that essentially answer the question “Why?” – why study the Bible at all? His answers are straightforward: there is no true life without the Bible; the word of Word – all of it – is true; the Old Testament is important and shouldn’t be neglected in favor of only the New Testament; God’s word is accurate and endures.Moody suggests a wide array of ways to study the Bible, starting with the “scopes” approach – the telescope approach for understanding big themes and the big picture and the microscope approach for studying words, characters, places, and events. He discusses ways to remember what’s read and studied; studying types, characters, and names; and doing individual word studies. And he also recommends never buying a Bible you’re not willing to mark up and make notes in, and even had suggestions for underlining and marking.And then he explains how all of this study is useless unless it’s applied and used to further God’s kingdom. He completes his book with a summary of suggestions, 15 short statements that cover the book’s theme and reach. (He even includes his recommendations for how many services a church should conduct each Sunday – two on Sunday morning (one for worship and one for teaching) and one on Sunday night for preaching the gospel.“The more you love the Scriptures,” Moody writes, “the stronger your faith will be. There is little backsliding when people love the Scriptures.”“How to Study the Bible” is a book chock full of good advice and helpful suggestions.

This is one of the best books I have read in a while. Highly recommend

When I got this e book I really wasn't sure I would,actually read it... But I started it and found it very interesting. It had some good helpful advice for reading/using our daily Bible. I would recommend it as a refresher!

Mr. Moody felt that when we read the Bible, God is talking to us. Thus, he states the importance of studying the Bible. Mr. Moody has specific suggestions for the study of the Bible, and the following are some examples. He describes telescopic and microscopic methods of studying the Bible. He encourages younger Christians to spend time with mature Christians who can teach what they have learned about the Bible. He suggests making notes and underlining passages in the Bible. He suggests that Christians carry their Bible in everyday activities and spend at least 15 minutes a day in Bible study and meditation. Mr. Moody says it is absurd for people to believe in the New Testament, but not in the Old Testament. As proof, he cites the New Testament figures such as Christ and Paul who quote dozens of passages from the Old Testament. All of these suggestions for Bible study are from an evangelist whose knowledge of the Bible is remarkable.

This books covers a lot of ground!I also purchased the audio book and used them both so I can tackle my Bible study!You really can’t go wrong with this book because there is a detailed plan of action on how to look at the Bible and how to study it to get real life results from it.

The whole book is wonderful...spend your time and reed this book and that time is more valuable and u can learn something benefical

This book will push you to study and know the bible for yourself. It will teach you to take your eyes off pastors and teachers of God Word and to really know God for yourself as it ought to be. I recommend this book and will defiantely read a second time. God bless Dwight Moody.

Enjoyed this book I like the way Moody writes. Not sure though how helpful this would be for a beginner to study. No step by step or real examples. It's a great read though and all based in scripture

Serves the purpose its written for and good teacher on how to study the Word of God.
