Synopsis

Tired of passive Bible study? Unlock a vibrant, personal encounter with Scripture!

Learning and Living Scripture: an Introduction to the Participatory Study Method by Geoffrey D. Lentz and Henry E. Neufeld offers a fresh approach to Bible study. This guide helps you move beyond merely learning about God to experiencing God firsthand. The Participatory Study Method invites you to become part of the Bible story, finding your place and living positively according to God's will. It's designed to help you learn and grow spiritually by studying empathetically.

A critical element of this method is sharing your experiences with others. This isn't simply a time to inform others of what you've learned, but a crucial learning experience for you as well. Sharing helps you to think more clearly about your study, allows you to hear other perspectives to expand your own understanding, and provides accountability, preventing overly personal interpretations. The book provides a comprehensive method for reading scripture, getting the most out of it, and applying its principles directly to your life and community. It is suitable for private study or for leading a small group.
