Study Methodology

Bible Study Method
The four components of Bible Study.

Bokim Ministries’ method of Bible Study consists of four components: Language, Context, Reasoning, and Testing. Each component builds upon one another and is designed to give students a complete approach to understanding scripture. The four components of study are defined as follows:

Language

  • Returning to the original language texts of scripture
  • Understanding translation and transliteration
  • Understanding grammar, literary devices, and other components of written language

Context

  • Understanding context
  • Reading and studying in context
  • Fallacies of reading out of context

Reasoning

  • Structuring logically valid arguments
  • Recognizing logical fallacies

Testing

  • Testing the soundness of arguments
  • Understanding how scripture relates to other scripture
  • Addressing apparent discrepancies in scripture
  • Testing ideas and doctrines against the standard of scripture
