Bible Study and Hermeneutics

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on September 26, 2011 under Module | Read the First Comment

This set of modules was written for the Nations Training Institute for translation and distribution to church leaders around the world.  It is a fairly thorough look at the importance of Bible Study in the life of a believer (and especially in the life of a church leader), and the hermeneutical principles necessary to properly interpret the Bible.  Though the titles indicate first draft status, they are heavily edited.  After submission to NTI, they were substantially modified to meet their specific editorial requirements.

2.7.1 Essential Principles for Interpretation, JAB, first draft

2.7.2 Bible Study Imperative, JAB, first draft

2.7.3 Bible Study Methods, JAB, first draft

This material was written in support of the Cambodia mission in January 2006. It’s not in a lesson format since it was intended to be combined with the other training material and then translated into Khmer. It has since been used in other international training efforts and is useful for basic Christian marital, parental, and domestic topics.

Premarital Counseling and Bible Study

Posted by Jonathan Bingham on February 16, 2006 under Module | Be the First to Comment

This extensive study was written in 1997 for our premarital Bible study with the large crop of engaged students in our college class at Elmcrest Baptist Church in Abilene, TX, where we led the college ministry.  It covers just about all of the marriage-relevant passages in the Bible and hits on all of the important topics couples need to consider before they get married.  It also includes a number of book reviews that tap wisdom from the best available Christian authors, as well.  A lot of the content can easily be repurposed for use with married couples.  Originally, we called the study, “Before You Say, ‘I do.'”
