05 - Creating Paragraph Summaries

Pastor Robert Rohlin continues a series of lessons teaching people how to inductively study the Bible. This is a practical 'hands-on' workshop. This lesson explains how to create paragraph summaries to make an outline of the book -- which enables you go get the Big Picture. Follow these lessons and use them as a family project to teach your entire family how to study the Bible with nothing more than a Bible, pen, pad of paper, and (maybe) a Bible encyclopedia. Don't rely on others to spoon-feed you spiritual truth. Learn how to get at the truth yourself! This method will help you understand what was in the mind of the writers of Scripture rather than imposing our own modern meaning on the text. This is the only way we can get at the true meaning of Scripture. Do you know how to really study a book of the Bible (without reading commentaries)?
