A burning desire of most Christian leaders is to see their congregational members learn to study God’s word in an effective and systematic fashion. Most Christians read the Word, some study it for a certain purpose (like writing a Bible College paper), but few truly study in a systematic fashion.

In order to grow deeper in the things of God, and to ensure that one will stand in the day of temptation, the Christian must have knowledge and wisdom.  Knowledge comes from reading and meditating on the Word of God.  Wisdom is the application of God’s Word to the individual’s life.

Of course, the fear or reverence of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but not the end. To continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus requires some work. The work comes through systematic study. This mini course will help the student develop the basic skills for effective bible study. This is the reason we have created “COMB The Basics of Biblical Interpretation.” It is based on the textbook “Fresh Manna”.
