Unlocking the Scriptures

by Hans Finzel

This updated classic leads the reader through the inductive Bible study process, showing practically how to study the Bible for one's self.

With this tool, Christians can learn to relevantly apply God's Word to their lives as His Spirit leads them personally, rather than as some other leader might direct. Originally published in 1986, Finzel's style remains very accessible—providing practical examples that walk the reader through the steps of unpacking Scripture, using actual passages to practice.

Unlocking the Scriptures is a great guide to help teach you how to dive deeper into the Word and learn more from what you are reading. This is a great read for all believers and I can't recommend it enough. If you want to get more out of your quiet time read this book, it will help you learn some great principles to break down passages and learn more from them.

Nicely written. A good book to use to learn how to study the Bible.

[Diana Wodnoff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read for school. It’s a good book if you’re looking for an idea of what inductive study is. If you’re looking for a how-to or in depth explanation this isn’t for you. I found it lacking in that regard and his interpretations were clearly biased which for an inductive study book, it ironic.

Unlocking the Scriptures

Wow, this is a great source for doing just that, unlocking the Scriptures. A very concise step by step study to help in understanding and personalizing the Word of God.

[Andria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very much written for a theological student. A bit confusing for the average lay person interested in inductive study.
