Status Updates From Unleash the Word

Soole continues to stick on the concern for the leader of the Bible study by presenting her 3 questions approach. I'm glad she provided a chart for this to track the progress of a Bible study. She also to leave the result to God to avoid being legalistic...

I love the way she explains hermanutics and how she observes the two approaches in small group Bible study.

"The aim of Bible study is not necessarily to get everyone to give the ‘right answer’ or arrive at the same place, but it is to help everyone – whether they begin with a good understanding or are a long way off – move closer to the truth of God’s revealed Word."

"as we approach the idea of leading a Bible study, we have two aims in our minds: the first is to get people to really engage with God’s Word so that they are rooted in Christ; the second is to make sure the Bible is handled well within a context that handles people well. "
