is organized structurally, because for a
full understanding of the Bible text one
needs to know not only what God said,
b u t how He said it. This aim partly
accounts for the appearance of so many
charts throughout the book, because
charts show structural organization
clearly and vividly.
Students of Bible survey often
overlook the application stage of their
study, because in survey they do not
analyze the Bible text in detail. But
survey study should not rule out
practical application. One of this book’s
purposes is to lead the reader into a
time of personal re ection as he
considers
practical
spiritual
applications of the Bible book that he
has just surveyed. At that stage the
slogan should be re ect and apply. That
is how all Bible study should conclude.
This survey guide also includes other
important helps for study, as seen in
the following descriptions of the parts
of each chapter.
I. PREPARATION FOR STUDY
The opening paragraphs of each
chapter prepare the reader for his
survey of the Bible book assigned to
that chapter. This is a crucial part of
one’s study, because here is where
motivation and momentum, as well as
direction, are gained.
II. BACKGROUND
Originally, every book of the Bible
was written in a particular local setting.
This section of the chapter discusses
that background, much information of
which is not always supplied by the
text of the Bible book itself. Some
important items are intentionally
repeated from time to time to help
impress them on the reader’s mind.
III. SURVEY
The actual survey process is the main
part of each chapter and should occupy
most of the student’s time. The basic
Bible version used throughout these
studies is the New American Standard
Bible. Chapter 3 is devoted entirely to a
discussion of the survey method of
study. Here the reader will learn what
procedures are recommended for
surveying a book of the New
Testament.
IV. PROMINENT SUBJECTS
Immediately following each chapter’s
Survey section is a discussion of
prominent subjects of the Bible book.
Technical subjects or problems of the
Bible text are not included, because
these are not part of survey study. The
comments that are shared are intended
to round out the student’s survey and
to give suggestions for further study at
a later time.
V. KEY WORDS AND VERSES
Usually certain words and verses can
be identi ed with the particular theme
of each Bible book. Suggestions are
made here, but the reader is urged to
look for more.
VI. APPLICATIONS
The questions asked here will help
the student apply the teachings of the
New Testament book to his own life
and circumstances.
VII. REVIEW QUESTIONS
